Written Answers. - Land Classification.
There are a combination of factors used to classify land as mountain or lowland. The three main factors are altitude, herbage type and gradient. These factors may vary from site to site. However within these parameters the land is classified by an identifiable boundary, such as a road, a river or a townland boundary.
