Slide Number 5 Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial you should be familiar with QGIS interface. To view the prerequisite tutorials in this series please visit this website.
Slide Number 6 About DEM Digital Elevation Model or DEM is a raster file. It shows elevation data for each raster cell.	Digital Elevation Model or DEM is a raster file. It shows elevation data for each raster cell.
Slide number 7 About DEM	DEMs are used to represent the bare earth terrain. The terrain is usually devoid of vegetation and man-made features. DEMs are used for calculations and analysis of an area, based on the elevation.

Point to the DEM on canvas.	On the canvas you will see DEM of the terrain. DEM contains all the 3D information about the terrain.
Point to the DEM on canvas. Scroll to zoom in.	Each pixel on the raster image represents the average elevation at that location. This elevation is given in meters.
Point to the DEM on canvas.	Dark pixels represent areas with low altitude. Lighter pixels represent areas with high altitude.
Cursor on canvas	Let us begin the DEM analysis of this map.

Click on Close.	Click on Close button on the DEM (Terrain models) dialog-box.
Cursor on layers panel.	A new layer, Hillshade is now added in the Layers panel. On the canvas you will see a raster map in Hillshade mode.
Cursor on canvas.	This map is generated using light and shadow to create a 3D image.
Cursor on Hillshade layer.	To make the model more pronounced, we will use Hillshade as an overlay.
Cursor on canvas.	Now we will change the symbology of the original DEM layer.
Right-click on the srtm_53_11 layer in the Layers Panel. Select Properties option.	Right-click on the srtm layer in the Layers Panel. From the context menu select Properties option.
Cursor on Layer Properties dialog-box.	Layer Properties dialog-box opens.
Select Style from left panel.	Select Style from the left panel.
