Italian term

conformazione fisica

Italian to English Science Geography
Il Sahara si estende per otto milioni di chilometri quadrati (quasi un terzo del continente africano), dalle coste dell’Oceano Atlantico, ad occidente, fino a quelle del Mar Rosso ad oriente ma, contrariamente a ciò che in genere si pensa, non presenta un monotono paesaggio di pianure ricoperte di sabbie; esistono invece vari ambienti desertici, assai diversi sia nella conformazione fisica sia nell’origine geologica.

Comunque sceglierei "conformation", perché in italiano c'è anche la formazione fisica
