Abstract
All aspects of surface form can be considered to reflect surface roughness. Horizontal variation includes the concepts of texture and grain, while vertical variation is discussed under relief. The relationships between these are embodied in slope and the dispersion of slope magnitude and orientation. The distribution of mass within the elevation range of a topographic surface is described under hypsometry. Parameters for further investigation are selected from these categories after an examination of the relationships among the variables using correlation analysis.Keywords
