Terrain
Terrain, or relief, is the third or vertical dimension of land surface. When relief is described
underwater, the term
bathymetry is used.
Topography has recently become an additional synonym, though in many parts of the world it retains its original more general meaning of description of place.Terrain is used as a general term in
physical geography, referring to the lie of the
land. This is usually expressed in terms of the
elevation,
slope, and orientation of terrain features. Terrain affects surface water flow and distribution. Over a large area, it can affect
weather and
climate patterns.
