WHAT DOES HYPSOMETRY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hypsometry

Hypsometry is the measurement of land elevation relative to sea level. Bathymetry is the underwater equivalent. A hypsometer is an instrument used in hypsometry, which estimates the elevation by boiling water – water boils at different temperatures depending on the air pressure, and thus altitude. On Earth, the elevations can take on either positive or negative values, and are bimodal due to the contrast between the continents and oceans. On other planets within this solar system, elevations are typically unimodal, owing to the lack of oceans on those bodies.

Definition of hypsometry in the English dictionary

The definition of hypsometry in the dictionary is the establishment of height above sea level Also called: hypsography.
