LAB 4 Surfaces: TINs and DEMs


During this lab I worked with DEMs and TINs in ArcGIS Pro. I learned about the difference between DEM and TIN where I learned that TINs are created from elevation points and they create face of triangles on the surface. While the DEMs represent a continous surface and the cell sizes are all the same unlike a TIN.
