Landscape also called terrain.

Terrain can described with different approaches

  • Terrain Cover: Vegetation,water,desert, dry,soil, snow, roads, buildings
  • Landform: endogenic: internal forces ( tetonic, volcanic, hotspring)| exogenic: glacier forms, marine forms, karst forms (relief)
  • Landmarks: high mountains,high plateau, low mountain, hills

And it can be further described by

  • Terrain features: river,lakes, coast lines, roads, railways, settlements
  • Natural ressources: soil,vegetation, geology, climate

In CG we try to replicate the reality. For this we use a heightmap. It describes the elevation in grey values from 0-255
