Hypsometric
Hypsometric maps are also called relief maps. What they do is show the elevation of a an area of land. They do this by using a succession of colors. The colors vary based on certain intervals of land elevation. They usually use the rule of "higher is brighter" meaning that the darker the color the higher the terrain.
