Hypsometric maps are surface maps that show relief (Topography), and it is where three dimensional information is shown. This third dimension may represent relief or any other number of variables that describes a phenomena or process superimposed on the surface. This can be represented by color and shaping, contour lines, or raised relief. This map shows the elevation changes of Las Bayas, Argentina by use of both shaping and color. The lower areas are represented by green shades and then transfers to red shades at higher elevations.
