number of peaks Explanation: Much as Euler gave a formula for the number of faces, edges and vertices in a polyhedron, Maxwell relates the **number of topographic peaks**, pits and saddles on a surface. In the case of a sphere, the formula is p+q–s=2, where p is the number of peaks, q the number of pits and s the number of saddles. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2010-03-08 08:00:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also: This invention relates to the measurement of surfaces and coatings wherein parts of the surface or coating protrude above the general **topography**. The size and **number of peaks** on the surface are counted to determine the contribution to the over all surface roughness. |

number of elevations Explanation: Here is a website that has some info using the term "elevations." http://imnh.isu.edu/DIGITALATLAS/geog/basics/topo.htm Contour Lines: Contour lines are used to determine elevations and are lines on a map that are produced from connecting points of equal elevation (elevation refers to height in feet, or meters, above sea level). Cartographers solve the problem of representing the three-dimensional land surface on a flat piece of paper by using contour lines, thus horizontal distances and vertical elevations can both be measured from a topographic map.

the number of vertices Explanation: The definite article should be used before vertices, as you know the differences among “the number of …s”, “the number of the …(s)” and “a number of …s”. 以下参照: このアルゴリズムの計算量は入力グラフの頂点数、枝数に依らない定数である。頂点数n、最大次数dのグラフGがk点連結性からε遠隔であるとは、 ...
