Methodology:
This version of the Elevation breakdown was created using the LEAC 1 km grid as reference system. Areas next to the sea (less than10 km from the coastline) are considered Coasts and split in two categories: Low coasts (less than 50 m) and High coasts (more than 50 m). Inlands are the areas between 0 and 200 m outside the coastal strip. Uplands are the zones between 200 - 500 m plus the flat areas between 500 and 1000. The slopy areas between 500 and 1000 m and all the areas over 1000 m are classified as Mountains (see enclosed PDF file for further details). This grid contains all the 1 km reference grid cells that intersect with CLC data including intertidal flats and estuaries. The reference coastline used to define the distance to the coast was created ommiting the intertidal flats and estuaries. This is the reason why in some areas the coastal strip can be wider than 10 km.

It defines five relief typologies: 1) low coasts, 2) high coasts, 3) inlands, 4) uplands and 4) mountains. The enumeration corresponds to values in the grid.
