flat terrain
No hills here
Flat terrain is land without significant elevation changes—no hills, valleys, or slopes to speak of.
The phrase appears in geography, military strategy, and outdoor activities where the lay of the land matters: The cyclists appreciated the flat terrain after days in the mountains.
Plains, prairies, and desert floors are typical examples.
