A DEM map is what is known as a digital elevation
model. These DEM maps allow the people
looking at them to visualize the elevation of the land. These DEM maps only represent height
information without any further definition about the surface. This means that from these DEM maps you
learn nothing about what is on the land such as houses or roads, rather just
the elevation of the land. The
above DEM map is of the Great Barrier Reef, the Coral Sea, and the neighboring
Queensland coastline, one of the many, many places I dream to scuba dive before
I die.
