Hypsometry (or area-altitude analysis) describes the distribution of the horizontal cross-sectional area of a landmass with respect to different elevations and can be calculated using the HI (Strahler, 1952).
The hypsometry is a geomorphic parameter, which is extremely responsive to both surface and sub-surface processes coupled with landscape development.

To describe topography and ocean water geometrically, we define two closed smooth and simply connected surfaces: solid Earth's surface [r.sub.t] including topography (hypsometry) and ocean bottoms (bathymetry), and the geoid [r.sub.g] representing the mean sea level.
