Translation
skirt
Definition
A skirt is the outer edge or border of a geographical area, such as the lower part of a mountain or the boundary of a forest. In geography, this term often describes the peripheral zone surrounding a central feature, like the base of a hill or the fringe of a city. The word emphasizes the transitional area where one landscape feature meets another, such as where a mountain slope levels out into flat land. It can also refer to the outer part of a region that is less central or developed.
