Terrain Representation

Terrain representation refers to the way we digitally depict and model the physical features of the Earth's surface, such as mountains, valleys, and plains. This can be done using various techniques like contour lines on maps, 3D models, or digital elevation data. The goal is to accurately capture the shape and elevation of land for purposes such as navigation, planning, or environmental analysis. Effective terrain representation helps us understand the landscape's form and features, facilitating decision-making in fields like geography, engineering, and outdoor recreation.
