Topography is the study and description of the shape and features of the land surface of a region. It involves the measurement and mapping of the elevation and slope of the land, as well as features such as valleys, hills, and mountains. Topography is important in a variety of fields, including geography, geology, and civil engineering, as it provides valuable information for understanding and managing the physical landscape. Techniques used in topography include remote sensing, satellite imagery, and ground-based surveys.
