AI overview
Topography is the detailed description and mapping of the physical features of a landscape, including its hills, valleys, and elevation changes, often shown through contour lines on maps or satellite imagery. It matters because it helps us understand and visualize how the land is shaped, which is useful for planning, navigation, and studying how geography affects human settlements and activities.
