Hypsometric maps represent the changes in elevation of terrain by varying colors. Usually the lighter shades represent lower levels of elevation and as the elevation increases the colors get darker. This is a map of the world. The green areas represent places of low elevation and the tan areas start to get higher in elevation. The brown and darkest areas have the highest elevation.
