A hill is a landform that rises above its surroundings, typically with a rounded or sloping summit. It is smaller in size compared to mountains and often forms as a result of geological processes such as erosion, faulting, or volcanic activity.
Hills can vary greatly in size, and shape, ranging from gentle, rolling slopes to steeper inclines. The composition of hills can also vary, with some comprised of solid rock formations while others consist of softer materials like soil and loose sediment.
They play important roles in shaping landscapes, providing scenic views, and offering habitats for various plant and animal species.
