Inverted relief (inverted topography, topographic inversion) refers to landscape features that have reversed their elevation relative to other features. Here is a ski track that inverted itself in spring from concave to convex as snow in the compressed area melted away more slowly than snow in the surrounding area.
Here, inverted steps can be seen in the ski track.
Potential Discovery or Invention
Here is inverted relief (inverted topography, topographic inversion) on my driveway with interlocking pavement blocks.
