Week 7- Lab 6 Elevation map

This is a 2D image of a 3D map created on ArcScene





 



 The benefits of using ArcMaps for mapping elevation is that it clearly shows the change in elevation. It also helps show which variable in elevation difference you need. ArcScene was very helpful in rendering a 3D model. This gives a good visual representation in how the elevations look in different areas. One of the pitfalls is how easily your map can change by having  your data layers in the wrong order. That can easily misrepresent accurate information from the data layers.

The DEM (Digital Elevation Models) was downloaded form the class website.
