Elevation Models

Elevation models are digital representations that capture the height and terrain features of a landscape. They use data collected from satellites, aircraft, or ground surveys to create detailed maps showing how high or low points are across an area. These models help visualize mountains, valleys, and other landforms, enabling applications like flood planning, construction, navigation, and environmental monitoring. Essentially, they transform real-world topography into digital data that can be analyzed and used for various geographic and engineering purposes.
