Nuh uh, I can totally see the Rockies from my front yard in Minnesota.
Continental US Elevation
This is a weird presentation. Was someone trying to make a minecraft mod or something?
True, there should be a standard for artists to keep them in line and stop them from being creative.
We probably don’t have data for elevation at the resolution needed to generate a smooth mesh rather than towers. You could artificially smooth it out but that would be a less honest representation of the data.
We have data at 5m resolution for free, or better. Source: am geoscientist
More like someone didn’t want to go through the extra work of smoothing things out.
It’s interesting that it is smooth specifically in the x direction, but the y direction has more abrupt changes.
As @[email protected] says, touch some grass
Now for the minecraft part, you might enjoy Terralith
