There's article - TOPOLOGY

 

In simple terms, Topology loadbalancing loadbalances traffic based on the geo-graphical locations defined.

 

Users from America would have America DNS servers, User from Europe having EU DNS servers. When these DNS server are put as records in respective region names, lets say america and europe. Later these records are given weightage and mapped to pools, achieving topology load balancing.
