1. An overview of landforms
Landscape Vs. Landform
(match both columns)
1. Landscape A……. a naturally
formed feature on the
Earth’s surface, having a
characteristic shape or
form
2. Landform B……. visible
features of an area including
both the natural
(mountains,
forests, rivers etc) and
.
Landforms of varying sizes and shapes,
when taken together, are referred to as a
landscape
The landforms have relationships with each
other, which means they form distinctive
groupings in these different landscapes.
Some landforms are extensive (dune fields)
and others are small (group of rocks)
Geomorphology examines landforms,
concentrated on the surface of the
lithosphere, and the processes producing
them.
