 Hypsometric maps represent different elevations throughout a certain region by using different colors and or different shadings. Hypsometric maps also use two neighboring contour lines to give a specific area a certain tint which displays that areas elevation. Shown above is Hypsometric map of North America, and the map displays the elevation throughout the continent.
