INRODUCTION
This application section includes three task in terrain mapping analysis. Task 1 is about
creating a contour layer, a vertical profile, a shaded relief layer, and a 3-D perspective view
from a DEM. In task 2 is about to derive a slope layer, an aspect layer, and a surface
curvature layer from DEM data and in task 3 is to build and modify a TIN. My Lab test is
about to proceed with task number 1 which is using DEM for Terrain Mapping.
