The distribution curvc of the heights and hypsographie 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 glacicrs of our planet. The results show that taking into account the icc cover has a significant impact on the shape of the curvcs The greatest differences arc 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.
