ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)Using digital elevation model data, landforms are classified into two broad, generic terrain features --mounts and non-mounts. Mount represents an aggregation of elevated features including hills, mountains and ranges. All remaining features are classified collectively as non-mount. The results of this work suggest that it may be possible to acceptably replicate the manual classification of certain generic terrain features. However, the general utility of the mount/ non-mount classification appears to be limited by the classificatinn algorithms, the nature of the regional terrain and the quality of available digital data. Possible applications for generic terrain feature information, such as mounts and non-mounts, are presened.
