What is the type of contour line represented by letter 'G' on the map? [Figure: Photographed contour (topographic) map, roughly square, with a north arrow marked 'N' in the top right corner. Longitude ticks along the bottom edge read 37°10'0"E, 37°20'0"E, 37°30'0"E, 37°40'0"E and 37°50'0"E. Latitude ticks along the left edge read 10°50'0"N, 11°0'0"N, 11°10'0"N and 11°20'0"N, so consecutive lines of latitude are ten minutes apart. Thick contours alternate with several thin contours between them. Contour values printed on the sheet: 1800 on a thick contour in the north east, 2400 on a thick contour running west to east across the upper middle of the map, 3000 on each of two small closed contour rings near the centre left, 3000 on a thick contour in the south east and 3600 near the south east corner. A point marked 'M' sits in the north west of the map on open ground where the contours are widely spaced. A point marked 'G' sits directly on the thick contour labelled 2400, roughly at 37°31'E, 11°15'N. The letter 'H' is printed in the centre of the map, in the gap between the two small closed 3000 rings, that is on the low ground between the two summits.
