Displacments, easy easy. And for realistic terrain using heightmaps is an easy way to go.

dicplacements are hammer based ground morphs.
Like you create a flat terrain with grass texture and then give it a little natural feel by making it not all the same level, so you raise some places, make bumps and little mountains so it isnt so flat. Thats called a displacement.
