Terrain Mapping

Terrain mapping is the process of creating detailed representations of the Earth's surface, showing features like hills, valleys, and elevation changes. Using tools such as satellites, drones, or LiDAR (Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging), data is collected to measure the height and shape of landforms. This information is then processed to produce maps or 3D models that help in planning, navigation, environmental management, and scientific research. Overall, terrain mapping provides a comprehensive view of the physical landscape, helping us understand how the land is shaped and how it might change over time.
