Hill Areas

Hill areas refer to regions characterized by elevated landforms such as hills, ridges, and slopes, typically featuring a varied topography with significant altitude differences from surrounding plains. These areas often have distinct ecosystems, weather patterns, and soil types, supporting diverse flora and fauna. They may be less suitable for large-scale agriculture but are important for forestry, tourism, and water resources. Hill regions can influence climate and weather, often leading to cooler temperatures and higher rainfall compared to lowland areas. Their terrain also impacts human settlements, transportation, and development, requiring specialized infrastructure and planning.
