Ko te paparahi tētahi whenua e karapotia e te wai, ā, he nui ake i te moutere.

Mahere whenua pakiwaituhi whai tae e whakaatu i ngā paparahi me ngā rohe whakaehu. I runga i ngā tukanga tatau rerekē, ka whakakotahia, ke weheruatia ētahi paparahi: hei tauira, i te nuinga o te wā ka weheruatia Eurāhia hei Ūropi me Āhia (wāhanga whero), ā, i ētahi wā ka tohua Amerika ki te Raki me Amerika ki te Tonga hei tētahi paparahi kē (wāhanga kākāriki).

Ahakoa tēnei whakamāramatanga ngāwari, ehara te paparahi i te mea paearu taikaha, ā, he maha ngā tukanga tatau rerekē mō te tau o ngā paparahi ki Papatūānuku. Heoti, e ai ki te ritenga, e whitu ngā rohe e māramatia auautia ko te paparahi, arā ko: (mai te nui rawa ki te iti) Āhia, Āwherika, Amerika-ki-te-Raki, Amerika ki te Tonga, te Tiri o te Moana, Ūropi, me te Ao-o-Kiwa.

I te tātai aro whenua, he wāhanga kirinuku paparahi hoki ngā paparahi totohu.

† The lowest exposed points are given for North America and Antarctica. The lowest non-submarine bedrock elevations in these continents are the trough beneath Jakobshavn Glacier (−1,512 metres (−4,961 ft)[20]) and Bentley Subglacial Trench (−2,540 metres (−8,330 ft)), but these are covered by kilometers of ice.

Some sources list the Kuma–Manych Depression (a remnant of the Paratethys) as the geological border between Europe and Asia. This would place the Caucasus outside of Europe, thus making Mont Blanc (elevation 4810 m) in the Graian Alps the highest point in Europe - the lowest point would still be the shore of the Caspian Sea.
