*'''General''' - sets max and min terrain height.  This is the biggest effect on the "hilliness" of the terrain.  This is always the first transformation, and can't be deleted.

*'''Turbulence''' - adds extra noise and roughness to the terrain.  It gives a twisting sort of effect.  Requires clicking on a higher level and back before seeing any effects.

''Light Turbulence''

''Heavy Turbulence''

*'''Smoothing''' - the opposite.  Smooths out rough edges and makes a more even, rolling terrain.  Number of iterations has the biggest effect on the outcome.

''Heavy Smoothing''

*'''Smooth Ridges/Valleys''' - smooths only the top of mountains and ridges.  Useful to avoid sharp peaks that cars have trouble driving over.

''Heavy Smoothing''

*'''Filter''' - applies a transform based on the height of the terrain - each input height can be linked to an output.  There are all sort of complex effects that can be achieved like this, although I haven't experimented much.

''Filtering used to set the terrain to three levels''

*'''Thermal Erosion/Hydraulic Erosion''' - don't appear to do anything.  Let me know if you work it out.
