Motion parallax is the phenomenon in which objects closer to us appear to move faster than objects farther away as we move or observe from a different point of view. In this case, while riding on a train, the trees and telephone poles closer to the tracks appear to move faster than the buildings, trees, and mountains that are farther away, which is an example of motion parallax. Aerial perspective refers to the reduced clarity and contrast of distant objects due to atmospheric haze, whereas subliminal motion and motion differential are not related to this phenomenon.
