Abstract
Topographical models provide important information for users about the terrain and surface phenomena. Google Earth is a computer program, one of the top 3D simulation software with top 3D viewing tools that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe. The capability to create 3D models has been integrated in different softwares; such as Surfer and ArcGIS softwares. In these softwares environment, elevation points are the most essential items for creating digital terrestrial models. In this study,initially, elevation points were extracted by a new method of using Google Earth and next; various types of 2D & 3D maps have been created by using Surfer and ArcGIS softwares. Then, topographic models were created in Google Earth environment.by integrating of maps from the Firouzabad salt domes, Fars Province (Konarsiah & Jahani).
