Raised earth platforms are man-made mounds or structures created by piling up layers of soil and other materials. They are commonly used in agriculture to improve drainage, reduce soil erosion, and provide a raised surface for planting crops. These platforms have been used by various ancient civilizations for thousands of years.
A large mound or raised area of earth is called a hill or mound.
An earth embankment is a raised structure built using compacted soil to prevent flooding, provide support to roads and railways, or create platforms for buildings. It is commonly used in civil engineering for its cost-effectiveness and durability.
A raised part of the earth's surface smaller than a mountain is called a hill. Hills are elevated areas that are lower in altitude and size compared to mountains, and they are characterized by a gradual incline or slope.
The raised areas of earth designed to hold back flood waters that start with an "i" are called levees. They are built parallel to rivers or other bodies of water to prevent flooding of surrounding areas.
A raised part of the Earth's surface is called a mountain or hill. This is a natural elevation that can vary in size and shape, often formed through geological processes like tectonic plate movement or volcanic activity.

In ancient Mesopotamia, raised earth structures known as levees and embankments were constructed to hold back floodwaters from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These structures were essential for managing seasonal flooding, protecting agricultural land, and facilitating irrigation. Additionally, raised platforms or terraces were built in some areas to elevate homes and crops above potential flood levels, allowing for more effective land use in a region prone to flooding.
Also known as a bimah, they are raised platforms in the center of the synagogue with a raised reading desk, where the Ashkenazi (German) ritual, the Torah, and the Haftarah are read during Sabbath and festivals.
Raised platforms for beds can enhance the functionality and aesthetics of a bedroom space by providing additional storage space underneath the bed, creating a visually appealing focal point in the room, and adding a sense of modernity and sophistication to the overall design.

Gravitational contraction raised the temperature of Earth early in it's formation.
A raised bank of earth is commonly referred to as a "berm". Berms are often used in landscaping and gardening to help with water drainage, provide privacy, or create barriers.
