1. Terrain

   Terrain or relief (also topographical relief) involves the vertical and horizontal dimensions of land surface. The term bathymetry is used to describe underwater relief, while hypsometry studies terrain relative to sea level. The Latin word terra (the root of terrain) means "earth." In physical geography, terrain is the lay 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.

Examples of TERRAIN in a Sentence

1. Olivier Toupet:

   The helicopter is an extremely valuable asset for rover planning because it provides high-resolution imagery of the terrain we want to drive through, we can better assess the size of the dunes and where bedrock is poking out. That's great information for us ; it helps identify which areas may be traversable by the rover and whether certain high-value science targets are reachable.

2. Mohamed Mwaramuno:

   The app has made work easier for us, instead of patrolling the dangerous terrain we just receive these feeds and then we can directly go to the sites that have been disturbed.

4. Mia Maguire:

   Wearing sandals while swimming, snorkeling and boogie-boarding, is essential in many San Diego and Los Angeles spots to prevent cuts and injuries, i also love to hike in various types of terrain, so finding a durable pair that can withstand slippery conditions is essential. I’ve owned the brand’s Hurricane sandals for over a year now, and I wear them non-stop during the spring and summer. When I visit Austin( my second home), I love to wear them swimming at the Barton Springs pool( a non-chlorinated natural spring water pool), which is dangerously slippery thanks to the overgrowth of algae.

5. Claudio Semini:

   Compared to other teams in China and the U.S. we have focused a lot on the versatility. So this (HyQ) platform can do many different motions ranging from very fast motions like a run or a jump. But it can also do the more careful navigation on rough terrain where we need to plan really one foothold after the next. And this is important, once we see the 3D map of the environment we can start to understand how to best move through that environment, we don't want to be the fastest or the best climber, but we want to have a machine that can do many of these motions; as in the real world, the machine will need to have many different skills.
