Grade 10 Science, this is about the different types of mountanous land forms, glacial landforms, fluvial and coastal landforms, plateau and plains.

1. DIFFERENT FACES OF THE EARTH

2. MOUNTANOUS AND GLACIAL
LANDFORMS

3. MOUNTAIN LANDFORMS
• These are landforms that rise higher than
the rest of their surroundings. They
exhibit slopes, summit areas, and local
beliefs. Like real mountains, they can be
created by different tectonic activities.

5. VOLCANOES
•These are landforms that are
controlled by geological processes
that form them and continually act on
them after their formation. A volcanic
mountain can be identified with a
vent on top.

9. HILLS
• These are elevated portions of lands that are
formed by geologic activities such as faulting.
They are usually covered with grass and are used
as grazing lands for goats, cattle, carabaos. They
are smaller than mountains, only 300 m high,
with sloping sides unlike the steepness of the
latter.

12. VALLEYS
• These are low-laying areas of land situated between hills
or mountains. They are usually formed by the actions of
rivers and glaciers. These forces determined the shape
of the valley;
• V Shaped- When carved out by flowing water.
• U Shaped- When carved out by Glaciers.

13. V-SHAPED VALLEY

15. U-SHAPED VALLEY

17. GLACIAL LANDFORMS
• These are results of the actions of glaciers. Glaciers are
huge slow-moving bodies of ice. Most glacial landforms
today were created by the movement of large ice sheets
during the quaternary glaciation.
• Alpine Glaciers – Formed in high mountains.
• Continential Glaciers – Formed in cold polar regions.

18. ALPINE GLACIERS

19. CONTINENTAL GLACIER

20. FLUVIAL AND COASTAL LANDFORMS

21. FLUVIAL LANDFORMS
•These are those that underwent
sedimentation, erosion or deposition
on a river bed.

23. GLACIOFLUVIAL OR FLUVIALGLACIAL
•These are bodies of water
associated with these landforms
interacted with glaciers or ice
caps.

24. WAVE REFRACTION
• Wave crests in the bodies of water realign
themselves as a result of decreasing
depths. As they tumble along the shore,
coastal erosion occur, giving birth to
different coastal landforms.

25. DELTA
•It is a typically a low-laying triangular
are located at the mouth of rivers
where it meets an ocean, a sea, or an
estuary.

28. ALLUVIUM
•It refers to the sediment that
has accumulated due to
interaction with a delt and
bodies of water.

30. PENINSULA
• It is a piece of land that projects into a
body of water and is connected with the
mainland by an isthmus. These are formed
by lithospheric movement, water
elevation, and erosion.

33. MEANDER
•It is a bend in a sinuous watercourse
of a river. It is formed when moving
water in a stream erodes the
outerbanks then widens the valley.

36. SEA CLIFFS
• These are high rocky coasts that plunge
down to the edge of the sea. They are
results of erosional actions of water and
wind. Due to their location, sea cliffs are
exposed to the battering of waves, winds,
and sea spray.

39. PLAINS

40. THESE ARE FLAT AND BROAD LAND
AREAS THAT HAVE NO GREAT CHANGES
IN ELEVATION WHEN MEASURED WITH
REFERENCE TO MEAN SEA LEVEL.

43. PLATEAUS

44. THESE ARE PORTIONS OF LAND ELEVATED THOUSANDS OF FEET
ABOVE THEIR SURROUNDINGS. THEY ARE THE RESULTS OF
GEOLOGIC UPLIFTS OR THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE LARGE
PARTS OF STABLE AREAS OF EARTH’S CRUSTS.
