Concept in Definition ABC

The word top is one that refers to the highest or highest point altitude of a surface. This term can be used in different areas and aspects, although it is mainly related to the geography when used to designate the highest parts of mountains or some other elevation. However, it can also be used to point to the top of other elements such as a stairs or even metaphorically to make reference to situations in which the person reaches his maximum objective.

If we limit it to the field of geography, the top is that part of a surface that has the highest elevation or altitude and that differs from the rest of the surface that surrounds it. This is especially visible in the case of mountains and although the term is not so commonly used with surfaces of less elevation such as hills or hills, the idea of ​​the top applied over them would not be wrong. There are other geographic terms that are used to differentiate different types of peaks, for example in the case of mountain ranges that normally include several peaks, those that are located below the main summit can be known as sub-summits. In the case of geographical phenomena, it is very seldom possible to speak of perfect peaks since the irregularity of the surface is always present.

The idea of ​​a peak can also be used in metaphorical terms when referring to fulfilling the objectives that one can have and thus establish the idea of ​​climbing towards the top, towards success. This use is very common in work environments in which a clear hierarchy Between the different jobs and the notion of climbing to a more or less distant peak is present as well.
