Altimetric frequency curve is used for :
Answer: D
The altimetric frequency curve is used for the computation of elevation above sea level.
An altimetric frequency analysis records, from a contour map, how often each height or height class occurs, for example by reading spot heights or grid-point elevations. Plotted as a curve or histogram, it shows the distribution of land at different elevations and helps identify erosion surfaces, where many points share the same height.
It is a technique of relief and morphometric analysis. Population, pressure and rainfall distributions are mapped with dot maps, isobars and isohyets, not with altimetric frequency curves.
