Here's how you can create a tactile and (I think) fun sense of depth for an imagery basemap using blend modes and effects in ArcGIS Online.

0:00 Start out with the World Imagery basemap. Give it a Brightness and Contrast effect of 196 and 96, respectively. And respectfully.

0:14 Via the layers, add the World Imagery again, from Living Atlas.

0:22 Also add a Living Atlas layer named Bathymetry Light.

0:28 Group the Bathymetry and Imagery layers, with Bathymetry on top.

0:35 Apply a Destination Out blend mode to the Bathymetry layer. This is effectively a clipping mask, so only the imagery’s land areas are visible in the group.

0:42 With the whole group selected, apply a black Drop Shadow effect.

0:49 Back in the group, select the bathymetry layer, and give it a Drop Shadow effect of white. This gives the land a bright edge.

1:00 Profit.
