a landscape unit that denotes origin and shape, such as a floodplain, river terrace, or till plain.
combinations of slope and elevation that produce the shape and form of the land.
Shape, form and nature of the Earth's surface.
Any feature of Earth's surface having a distinct shape and origin. Landforms include major features (such as continents, ocean basins, plains, plateaus, and mountain ranges) and minor features (such as hills, valleys, slopes, drumlins, and dunes). Collectively, the landforms of Earth constitute the entire surface configuration of the planet.
Any physical, recognizable form or feature on the earth's surface, having a characteristic shape and range in composition, and produced by natural causes.
The morphology and specific character of the land surface resulting from the interaction of physical processes and the earth's crustal movements with the geology of the surface layers.
A characteristic landscape feature on the Earth's surface that attained its shape through the processes of erosion and sedimentation; for example, a hill or a valley.
A description of the Earth's shape at a place (e.g., mountain range, plateau, flood plain).
a feature of Earth's surface
A discernible natural landscape that exists as a result of geological activity such as a plateau, plain, basin, or mountain.
combination of slope and evaluation producing the shape and form of the land surface.
A natural feature of a land surface.
Any physical, recognizable form or feature of the Earth's surface, having a characteristic shape, and produced by natural causes; it includes major forms such as plain, plateau, and mountain, and minor forms such as hill, valley, slope, esker, and dune. Taken together, the landforms make up the surface configuration of the Earth.
Individual features or morphological forms that comprise part of the larger landscape and result for natural processes;
A feature on the landscape, such as a hill, terrace or moraine
Any physical, recognizable form or feature of the Earths surface, having a characteristic shape and produced by natural causes. Includes major features such as plains, plateaus, and mountains, and minor features, such as hills, valleys, slopes, canyons, arroyos, and alluvial fans.
a discernible natural landscape, such as a floodplain, stream terrace, plateau, or alluvial fan.
a feature of the land such as a forest, mountain, or developed area.
Any feature of the Earth's surface having a characteristic shape as the product of natural processes. Examples are continents, ocean basins, mountains, alluvial fans, sand dunes, and valleys.
A landform comprises a geomorphological unit. They are largely defined by their surface form and location in the landscape, as part of the terrain, and as such, they are also studied as elements of topography.
