Course: Geospatial Technology II (21058-II) > Section: Working with Raster Data and RS

Use should result in models and terrain features that allow the user to analyze an area’s geographical characteristics, such as

- elevation models
- contours
- hill shading
- slopes
- aspect
- viewsheds.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How can a DEM be used to create contour lines, hill shading of a dataset, characterizations of slope, or models of a viewshed?
- How can geographical characteristics be inferred from a DEM?
