Digital Elevation Model (DEM Map)






DEM is an abbreviation for digital elevation models. A DEM is a digital map from USGS and consists of terrain and elevation features in the raster format. This means that DEM map data is observed, recorded and saved in a pixel. The DEM relies on a coordinate system and map projections, and does not have to be colorized. In this image the DEM is used to construct this image of Eritria, Africa.
