HYPSOGRAPHIC CURVE OF THE EARTH’S SURFACE WITH ICE AND WATER DELETED

Abstract
The distribution curve of the heights and hypsographic curve of the Earth were compiled on the basis of the current data on the surface elevation and the bedrock topography of our planet. The dataset included the satellite data, bathymetry data for the World Ocean and the bedrock topography of Greenland and Antarctica – the most important glaciers of our planet. The results show that taking into account the ice cover has a significant impact on the shape of the curves The greatest differences are in the ranges of heights between 1500 and 4000 m and between –1000 and –200 m. According to calculations, the average altitude of the land surface and the stone surface is 800 m and 605 m, respectively.
