surface morphology


Explanation:
Morfologia, rzeĽba terenu, w geografii:
1) ukształtowanie powierzchni terenu. Charakter morfologii zależy przede wszystkim od budowy geologicznej (morfostruktura), warunków klimatycznych, hydrograficznych, ro¶linno¶ci i działalno¶ci człowieka. Morfologia kształtuje się w wyniku działania procesów morfologicznych.
http://wiem.onet.pl/wiem/0070a2.html

Morphology
The form and structure of a surface. In TINS, the morphology of a surface is defined by the sample points and breakline features used to build the TIN. Breaklines, when properly located at locations of significant change in surface behaviour, play a major role in defining surface morphology.
