State whether the following is true or false.
Green on a hypsometric tint scheme means the land is vegetated.

  • A.True only at large scales
  • B.False only at small scales
  • C.True
  • D.False

Answer: D

It means the land is low, and nothing more. The convention is so widely misread that map users often assume a green lowland is fertile, when the same tint covers the lowest parts of a desert just as readily as the richest floodplain.
