raised relief
Surface with elevation
Raised relief describes a map or globe where terrain features physically project from the surface, with mountains and valleys molded to show elevation changes you can see and feel.
The technique makes topography immediately tangible: The raised relief map let students trace the Appalachian ridge with their fingers.
Also called simply relief maps.
