Figure 1.

Examples of success and failure of 2.5D techniques for visualization of geologic features. (A) and (B) show a successful visualization of an overturned syncline in the Nopah Range near Pahrump, Nevada, USA, where the visualization is successful due to the large size of the structure (~1 km across) relative to the terrain model. (C) shows a contrasting failure of the method in the same area where pseudofolds are seen in this oblique view due to improper image drape on a narrow ridge line. Oblique view is ~500 m across. All views are from Google Earth.
