PEOPLE AND PLACES AROUND THE WORLD-NORWAY

 Terrain refers to a stretch of land and its natural features. Terrain or relief (also topographical relief) involves the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the land surface.

A river that courses through a very tight meander is also sometimes said to form a "peninsula" within the (almost closed) loop of water. In English, the plural versions of the peninsula are peninsulas and, less commonly, peninsulae.

The geology of Norway encompasses the history of the earth that can be interpreted by rock types found in Norway, and the associated sedimentological history of soils and rock types. The Norwegian mountains were formed around 400 million years ago (Ma) during the Caledonian orogeny.

The Glomma, Norway’s longest river, flows through the valley. Lumbering, agriculture (grains and hay), and livestock raising are principal economic activities.

The interior of Norway has a continental climate, with cold, snowy winters and mild summers. Typically, the interior is covered with hills and mountains, where the temperature decreases with altitude until at high elevations, we find a mountain climate. The highest peak in Norway is Mount Galdhøpiggen, 2,469 meters (8,100 ft) high.
