Explanation:
Mountains:- a large natural elevation of the earth's surface rising abruptly from the surrounding level; a large steep hill.
Plateau:- A plateau is a flat, elevated landform that rises sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. Plateaus occur on every continent and take up a third of the Earths land. They are one of the four major landforms, along with mountains, plains, and hills.
Desert:- A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation.
Coastal areas:- A coastline is defined as the line where land and water surfaces meet (border each other).
A) Mountains are formed when tectonic plates slide on top of another.
B) Plateaus are the areas in which the ground is higher than the normal ground
C) Desert consists of 90-95% sand and 5-10% clay. It is a area in which less rainfall happens.
