Summary

DescriptionMountain regions identified by UNEP.png	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. Definitions class1. elevation >= 4500 meters class2. elevation < 4500 & elevation >= 3500 class3. elevation < 3500 & elevation >= 2500 class4. elevation < 2500 & elevation >= 1500 & slope > 2 degree class5. elevation < 1500 & elevation >= 1000 & slope >= 5 degree OR elevation < 1500 & elevation >= 1000 & local (7 km radius) elevation range > 300 meters class6. elevation < 1000 & elevation >= 300 & local (7 km radius) elevation range > 300 meters class7. Inner isolated areas (<= 25 sq.km in size) that do not meet criteria but surrounded with mountains Original graphs were made using Arcgis, Rawgraphs, later edited by own user. Due to map file limitations, vector files cannot be provided.
