This rotating animation shows the distribution of topography on Earth. The colors blend smoothly from the lowest point (black) to highest point (white), with a full spectrum in-between: purple is low and red high. The movie clearly shows Earth's bimodal height distribution (continent/sea floor) and the effects of plate tectonics. The Earth DEM data used in creating this animation is courtesy of NOAA/NGDC. |
