A 3D terrain visualization generates a textured landscape from elevation data, with a color-mapped surface that transitions between ocean, sand, grass, rock, and snow textures based on height. The scene includes a semi-transparent blue water plane and a checkerboard ground, with interactive orbiting and zooming controls. Three.js renders the WebGL scene, while D3 loads the CSV elevation data, and custom GLSL shaders displace vertices and blend textures procedurally.
