The Colorado River, which flows through the southwestern United States, carves the Earth’s surface through steep, winding canyons, shaping the terrain through sustained fluvial erosion over geological timescales. This image combines several Digital Terrain Models derived from a Digital Elevation Model, highlighting altimetric variations and surface morphology through colour and shading.
