landform measurement

Landform measurement involves quantifying the physical features of Earth's surface, such as elevation, slope, and shape of terrain. Techniques include using tools like topographic maps, GPS, and remote sensing technologies like satellites and aerial photography. These measurements help understand landscape patterns, assess environmental changes, and support land planning and management. Essentially, it’s about capturing detailed data to accurately describe the form and features of the land, enabling scientists and engineers to analyze terrain characteristics for various applications.
