Summary
| Description |
English: The visualization graph displays the distribution of global mountain areas as defined by the UNEP environmental programme,it shows the percentage of mountainous areas in each continent and the altitude classification of mountain areas.
The data comes from the "Mountains of the World" database published in 2002 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), as well as the United States Geological Survey (USGS) "Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010" (GMTED2010). The graph combines planar and elevation forms to visualize the geographical study of mountain definition and classification, showing the distribution and proportion of mountainous areas in each continent on a flat surface, as well as the global proportion of mountain areas of different classes in terms of altitude.
