rough surface
Uneven tactile plane
A rough surface is one with an uneven texture—bumpy, coarse, or irregular rather than smooth.
The phrase appears in everyday contexts The rough surface of the brick scratched my hand and in technical fields like physics and engineering, where surface roughness affects friction, adhesion, and fluid flow.
