Geomorphometry

Geomorphometry is like taking a picture of the surface of the earth and figuring out how tall different parts of it are. It's like looking at a map of a mountain and being able to tell how high the peak is and how steep the cliffs are.

To figure this out, special computer programs use information from things like satellite cameras and lasers to measure the earth's surface. The computer then makes a three-dimensional model of what the surface of the earth looks like, showing the mountains, valleys, and other shapes.

This information can be used for many things, such as studying how erosion happens, predicting where landslides might occur, and even figuring out the best place to build a road. So basically, geomorphometry helps us understand the shape of the earth and how things change over time.
