What's the meaning of "flat landscape"? Is there any synonym for it?

Question

For context: Today you will travel to a small hill surrounded by flat landscape.

Answer 1

Very simple. A "flat landscape" is a plain. Elevated "flat" landscapes are mesas and plateaus, but in this case the landscape is clearly lower than the hill, so it is a hill within or adjacent to a plain.

Answer 2

I believe that "plain" is the word for which you were looking. "Mesa" or "plateau" implies an elevated but flat landscape. "Plain," on the other hand, implies that the area being described is lower than its surroundings. Examples might be "it was a plain surrounded by mountains" or "there was a small hill overlooking the plain." I cannot think of an example where you would use "plain" to describe flat terrain that was higher than its surroundings.

Answer 3

Flat landscape - level ground or uniformed, smooth or even ground.

You could use plain to describe flat landscape, but it depends on the sense and specificity you are trying to convey.

A small hill could also be described as a hillock.

Answer 4

In a flat landscape there are no mountains or hills, which implies the small hill stands alone next to a flat plain.

Answer 5

I don't think it's a special term. Just saying the land around the hill is flat. Could be a plain or a plateau or something like that, but those are examples of flat landscape, not synonyms.
