clinographic analysis
The terminology of clinographic curves is somewhat confusing. Strictly speaking, if the hypsographic curve shows the distribution of height of a given area, the clinographic curve should show the distribution of slope in a given area·
The clinographic curves reveal the breaks in slope and sudden changes in the relief of the area and they also present the general trend of the surface.
