DEM


http://edc.usgs.gov/images/dem.jpg

A digital elevation model (DEM) is a digital representation of ground surface topography or terrain. DEMs are commonly built using remote sensing techniques, however, they may also be built from land surverying. DEMs are used often in GIS and are the most common basis for digitally-produced relief maps.
