earthscapes
Geological vista art
Earthscapes are artistic representations or photographs of terrestrial landscapes, emphasizing the planet's natural features—mountains, deserts, coastlines, forests.
The term parallels seascape and landscape but draws attention to the earth itself as subject: Her gallery featured earthscapes from six continents.
Earthscapes may also refer to large-scale land art or environmental installations that reshape terrain.
