Esri Living Atlas Data: World Ecological Facets Landform Classes
Description
Landforms are large recognizable features such as mountains, hills and plains; they are an important determinant of ecological character, habitat definition and terrain analysis. Landforms are important to the distribution of life in natural systems and are the basis for opportunities in built systems, and therefore landforms play a useful role in all natural science fields of study and planning disciplines.
This resource is a 250 m spatial resolution raster datalayer showing the global distribution of 16 global Hammond Landform classes, four of which are mountain classes: (1) High Mountains, 2) Low Mountains, 3) Scattered High Mountains, and 4) Scattered Low Mountains).
