A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a digital representation of the Earth's surface, capturing elevation data for every point on the map. Created using advanced technologies like satellite imagery, LiDAR, and aerial surveys, DEM maps offer unparalleled insights into the shape and structure of our planet.
SLOPE MAP
The slope value represents the steepness or incline of the terrain in a specific area. It indicates how much the elevation (height) changes over a certain distance, expressed as a percentage.
ASPECT MAP
Once the aspect is determined, it provides valuable information about the orientation of the terrain. For example, a slope facing north might receive less direct sunlight, influencing factors like vegetation growth and temperature distribution..
