convexities
Surfaces curving outward
Convexities is the plural of convexity—surfaces or shapes that curve outward, like the exterior of a sphere.
In finance, convexity measures how bond prices respond to interest rate changes; a bond with higher convexity gains more when rates fall.
The convexities of the landscape made drainage difficult.
