Aerial Photo 12 -  Why do the Ozarks look like they have a flat horizon?
The peaks of the Arkansas Ozarks in the foreground are typical examples of what most Ozark "Mountains" look like. At the top of the photo the flat purple horizon line is the Missouri Ozarks. There are so many hill tops having nearly the same elevation that seeing them from a distance makes the Ozarks appear to have a flat horizon line. Indeed some 400 million years ago the region we know today as the Ozarks was a flat plateau, which is why the hills are all similar in elevation. Over millions of years hills took shape as sink holes collapsed and water erosion took place on the sides of the collapsed holes.
