# Elevation Breakdown based on EU-DEM (resolution 1km), Dec. 2016

Generalisation at 1 km resolution of elevation breakdown 100 m (based on EU-DEM).
This layer defines homogeneous areas as function of height, slope and distance to the sea. The Elevation Breakdown is used to allocate Land Cover Changes into homogeneous areas as function of height, slope and distance to the sea. It defines five relief typologies: 1) Low coasts, 2) High Coasts, 3) Inlands, 4) Uplands and 4) Mountains. The previous enumeration corresponds to values in the grid.This layer is an updated version using similar methodology to the one created on 2006 (same classes and thresholds) but it has been generated using up-to-date high resolution datasets (EU-DEM) in order to create a more accurate layer.https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/geonetwork/srv/api/records/2a927809-44a9-46f0-ad90-a815e4d1b2f3
