A DEM (Digital Elevation Model) is a digital file consisting of terrain elevations for ground positions at regularly spaced horizontal intervals. Also georeferenced, DEM's features are tied into coordinate systems, a datum, and a map projection. DEM's may be used to generate three-dimensional images or colorized to
bring out relief. The image above is a DEM of Bingham Canyon Copper Mine, Utah, United States.
