Layer tinting on a relief map means

  • A.adding a shadow to simulate low sunlight
  • B.printing each map sheet in a separate colour
  • C.tinting the margin to frame the map
  • D.colouring the bands between contour lines

Answer: D

Correct answer: colouring the bands between contour lines

Layer tinting, or hypsometric tinting, fills the band between successive contours with a colour from an ordered sequence, so height is read from the colour rather than by finding and reading a contour value. The convention runs greens through yellows and browns to white, and it is the reason a small-scale relief map can be understood at a glance.
