Phoenix with terrain, x 3 exaggeration.
These scenes show Phoenix, Arizona as seen by the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) instrument. The shortwave infrared (TM band 5), infrared (TM band 4), and visible green (TM band 2) channels are displayed in the images as red, green, and blue respectively. In this combination, barren and/or recently cultivated land appears red to pink, vegetation appears green, water is dark blue, and artificial structures of concrete and asphalt appear dark grey or black.

The Landsat image has been combined with digital elevation model data to show terrain. The terrain has been vertically exaggerated by a factor of three to emphasize elevation information.
