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