Rolling/undulating landscape

Could someone explain the difference between meaning of words "rolling" and "undulating" as regards landscape?
Or maybe these words have the same meaing?
Regards,
Mark

[nq:1]Could someone explain the difference between meaning of words "rolling" and "undulating" as regards landscape? [/nq] I would not find any real difference between the two terms. Repetition of synonyms can be considered a fault in style (an attempt to overwhelm the listener or reader with verbiage) or a benefit, done for special effects in poetry or romantic description.

How about:
"During earthquakes, the rolling California hills may be undulating"
