flat landscape

Horizon meets earth

A flat landscape is terrain without significant elevation changes—no hills, mountains, or valleys breaking the horizon.

The term describes plains, prairies, and lowlands where the eye can see for miles: The flat landscape of Kansas stretched endlessly before us.

Often used in contrast to mountainous or hilly regions.
