How it's used
Refers specifically to a geometric or physical surface that is tilted relative to the horizontal ground. While it is used in technical or physics contexts, it is also commonly used to describe terrain or man-made structures like ramps. It is distinct from words describing a general hill or mountain, as it emphasizes the flat, planar nature of the surface.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a natural hill or mountain, as those are better referred to as 山坡 or 山. This word is strictly for a surface that functions as a plane.
