Yeah, shading would have helped.

I once read (or maybe watched a video?) saying that most cartographers shade as id the sun were in the upper left of the image. Of course, it’s an artist choice, so many more decide against it. :)

But even if you’re not an astronomy enthusiast, you can open up Google Maps and check out the satellite photo layer. Every now and then, you’ll come across a terrain feature that you can’t easily tell if it’s raised or depressed.

Huh. Didn’t pay much attention myself, but perhaps they meant to convey “availability” instead?

Actual plaster. Diluted.

I don’t know if there are many types, but it’s the one used to fill-in small details or to cover holes left by nails.
