Return to Lake Tahoe Perspective Views
Oblique view of Lake Tahoe shaded-relief bathymetry looking at the southwestern margin of the lake. The distance across the bottom of the image is approximately 3.6 km. The image has a vertical exaggeration of 3 times the horizontal distance. The colored region is the lake floor, while the gray-scale region is the surrounding land. This part of the lake margin is composed of a series of submerged headlands with sediment chutes between each. The sediment that has been transported down the chutes has coalesced into a broad sedimentary fan at the base of the margin.
