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. http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/agidexe/term?1956 relief - The difference in elevation of an area between tops of hills and bottoms of valleys. http://www.iversonsoftware.com/geology/r/relief.htm relief - The relative difference in elevation between the upland summits and the lowlands or valleys of a given region. http://www.statlab.iastate.edu/soils/nssh/629.htm#r Reference: http://wiem.onet.pl/wiem/0070a2.html Reference: http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/agidexe/term?1956 |
