Study Notes

Types of Landforms

There are four major types of landforms: mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains.

Formation of Landforms

Landforms are formed by tectonic plate movement, which can cause crustal rocks to buckle, fold, or break, resulting in the creation of mountains and other landforms.

Highest Landform

The highest landform on Earth is Mount Everest, located in the Himalayan mountain range, with an elevation of 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level.

Topographic Edges

A 'spur' refers to a narrow, ridge-like feature that extends from a larger mountain or hill, often forming a topographic edge.

Minor Landforms

Minor landforms include features such as buttes, canyons, mesas, and valleys, which are smaller than major landforms but still have distinct characteristics.
