The purple line marks a version of the southern boundary of the Norrland Terrain.
Norrland terrain (Swedish: Norrlandsterräng) is a geomorphic unit covering the bulk of Norrland and the northwestern half of Svealand.[1] Except for The High Coast the coastal areas of Norrland do not belong to the Norrland terrain.[2] The southern and eastern boundary of the Norrland terrain is made up of geological faults that disrupt the Sub-Cambrian peneplain found the lowlands.[3] In some locations these faults have been extensively eroded making the Norrland terrain boundary partly a result of erosion.[3] Karna Lidmar-Bergström categorizes the Norrland Terrain into the following classes:[2]
Highlands with well developed valleys above 500 m.a.s.l.[note 1]
Plains with residual hills of Northern Sweden[note 2]
Undulating hilly land of Övertorneå/Överkalix[note 3]
Undulating hilly land of Boden area
Large scale joint valley landscapes[note 4]
Plains with residual hills of Dalarna
Undulating hilly land of central Sweden
