A mound is a general term for a heaped pile of earth, gravel, sand, rocks, or debris. The most common use is in reference to natural earthen formation such as hills or mountains, especially if they appear artificial. The term may also be applied to any rounded area of topographically higher elevation on any surface.

A hill is a landform which extends above the surrounding terrain in a limited area. Hills also have a distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip topography a hill may refer to a particular section of scarp slope without a well defined summit.
