DEM



This map is an example of a DEM, or Digital Elevation Model. This map shows elevation levels of Guam. The legend at the bottom gives a reference point as to what the different colors represent, and how elevations change in Guam. Some DEM's can be made in a 3-D format, but this example chose to colorize the map in order to bring out relief.
