Hello user!

Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains are the types of landforms.

  • MOUNTAINS : Mountains are large landforms that rise high above surrounding terrain and usually form sharp peaks. Most mountains are formed by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates, called tectonic activity. Tectonic plates are massive slabs of rock that are present under continents and oceans.
  • HILLS: Hills are elevated sections of land with notable summits that are lower and less steep than mountains. Most hills have "smoother" summits than mountains, meaning that their summits are not as severely pointed as mountaintops.
  • PLATEAUS: A plateau is an elevated piece of land that, unlike a mountain, is flat. Plateaus can span vast distances, or they can be eroded into small elevated sections. These sections are called outliers, and they usually appear when rivers and streams continuously erode larger plateaus.
  • PLAINS: are large, flat pieces of land with no drastic changes in elevation. Plains can be found at any altitude, though they are usually lower than the land surrounding them.
