What is a digital elevation model (DEM)? - USGS.gov

https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-digital-elevation-model-dem
A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a representation of the bare ground (bare earth) topographic surface of the Earth excluding trees, buildings, and any other surface objects. DEMs are created from a variety of sources. USGS DEMs used to be derived primarily from topographic maps. Those are being systematically replaced with DEMs derived from high-resolution lidar and IfSAR (Alaska only) data.

Digital elevation model - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_elevation_model
A digital elevation model ( DEM) or digital surface model ( DSM) is a 3D computer graphics representation of elevation data to represent terrain or overlaying objects, commonly of a planet, moon, or asteroid. A "global DEM" refers to a discrete global grid. DEMs are used often in geographic information systems (GIS), and are the most common

What is a DEM - Digital Elevation Model Definition - Caliper Corporation

https://www.caliper.com/glossary/what-is-a-digital-elevation-model-dem.htm
A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a specialized database that represents the relief of a surface between points of known elevation. By interpolating known elevation data from sources such as ground surveys and photogrammetric data capture, a rectangular digital elevation model grid can be created. GIS software can use digital elevation models

The DEM elevation values can be used for this, but another option is to reclassify the map and give each class a certain value that is used in a function. This can easily be displayed in a model, which can also be made in ArcMap (fig. 4). A good example is the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). This equation can be calculated by
