Hypsometric maps are used to depict the change in relief with the use of color, shading, or tinting. These maps are usually three dimensional, which makes it easier to see the changes in elevation. The map I chose is of Goiania, Brazil metropolitan region. The relief is shown by the different colors with blue being the deepest relief and beige being the the highest relief.
