A hill comprises a landform that is higher than the surrounding land terrain.
The top-most or highest point of the hill is known as the summit.
A hill differs from a mountain as it is not as high or steep.
Small hills are known as hillocks or knolls.
The formation of hills is through the geomorphic processes like faulting, continuous mountain erosion, and deposition of glacier and rock sediments.
A hilly landscape is a geographical area with several high points and gentle slopes.
Hills are significant to human beings are they are scenic, have fertile soils, and offer a stable foundation for buildings.
In nature, hills offer ecosystems that enable diverse plant and animal species to coexist mutually.
An example of a hill is the Ngong Hills in Kenya.
