Echo sounding is the ocean counterpart of land surveying. Acoustic waves propagating through the water column are used to measure depth of the sea floor and draft relief maps similar to land relief maps.  3, record 1, English, - relief%20map

La bathymétrie est le pendant en milieu marin de la topographie terrestre. Elle permet, à l'aide d'ondes acoustiques se propageant dans la colonne d'eau, de mesurer la profondeur d'eau du fond marin et d'établir des cartes de relief similaires aux cartes topographiques de surface.  2, record 1, French, - carte%20hypsom%C3%A9trique

The hypsometric layers of a topographic map at a certain map scale are not visible on the screen, but the actual cursor position can be converted to this hidden hypsometric layer and the identified vertical counter interval can be indicated by a small information window directly positioned at the cursor.  1, record 2, English, - hypsometric%20layer

hachure : A short line on a relief map that shows the downhill direction of a slope. The thickness and spacing of these lines indicate the relief. The steeper the slope the thicker the line. This method of relief portrayal is rarely used on today's maps; it has been replaced by contours, shading and hypsometric tints.  1, record 3, English, - relief%20portrayal

hachures : Traits conventionnels utilisés sur une carte topographique pour représenter le relief et la direction des pentes. L'épaisseur et l'espacement de ces traits nous renseignent sur le relief. Plus la pente est raide, plus le trait sera épais. Ce mode de représentation du relief est rarement utilisé sur les cartes modernes; il est remplacé par les courbes de niveau, l'estompage et les teintes hypsométriques  1, record 3, French, - repr%C3%A9sentation%20du%20relief

A map showing landforms and/or landform regions. Terrain may be represented using 3-dimensional symbology, such as relief shading or by elevation contours, hypsometric tints, or a combination of all.
