1895 Geogr. Jrnl. 5 577 The author points out how the generalized hypsographic curve of the Earth's surface defines the continental plateau.

1937 Geogr. Jrnl. 90 58 The district has been divided into four sub-regions and hypsographic and clinographic curves have been drawn for each.

1971 Nature 16 July 181/2 Kuenen was able to show from the world hypsographic curve that under present conditions a eustatic rise of 100 m would flood about ¹/ ₄ to ¹/ ₅ of the continents.

hypsoˈgraphical adj. of or pertaining to hypsography; hypsographical map, a map specially designed to exhibit (whether by shading, by contour lines, or by an actual embossed surface) the comparative altitude of places or parts of the earth's surface.
