LandformsA landform in the earth sciences comprises a geomorphological unit,
and is largely defined by its surface form and location in the landscape.
As part of the terrain a landform is an element of topography

Mountains
It’s a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A
mountain is generally steeper than a hill.

Mountains
Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism.

Plateaus
also called a high plain or tableland, is an area of highland, usually consisting of relatively flat terrain.

Tibetan Plateau The largest and highest plateau in the world. It is called the "roof of the world", which is still being
formed by the collisions of the Indo-
Australian and Eurasian tectonic
plates.

Plains
A plain is a flat region. Plains occur as lowlands and at the bottoms of valleys but also on plateaus or uplands at high
elevations.

Deserts
A desert is a barren area of land where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for
plant and animal life.

Loess
Loess is a clastic, predominantly silt-sized sediment, which is formed by the accumulation of wind-blown dust.

Glaciers
A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation over many years, often centuries.

Valley
is a depression that is longer than it is wide. The terms U-shaped and V-shaped are descriptive terms of geography to characterize the form of valleys.

Islands
Is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features
on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys.

Sea
The sea, the world ocean, or simply the ocean. It moderates the Earth's climate and has important roles in the water cycle,
carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle.

Sea and Ocean
Seas are smaller than oceans and are usually located where the land and ocean meet. Typically, seas are partially enclosed by land.

A bay is a large body of water connected to an ocean or sea formed by an inlet of land due to the surrounding land
blocking some waves and often reducing winds.

Waterfall
A waterfall is a place where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of a stream or river. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge
of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf. —
