Rolling Hills

Rounded, low-amplitude hills with smooth, convex crests rather than sharp ridgelines or cliff faces — the product of long-term erosion softening older, more angular terrain. Slopes are gentle enough to walk, farm, or graze without difficulty; the diagnostic shape is the repeated, wave-like undulation rather than any single dramatic peak.
