Major landforms
:There are Four types
of landforms
•Mountains
•Plains
•Plateaus
A mountain is a
large landform that stretches above the
surrounding land in a limited area. A
mountain is generally steeper than
a hill. Mountains are
formed through volcanism. Mountains
erode slowly through the action
of rivers, weather conditions,
and glaciers. There are four types of
mountains :block mountain , fold
mountain ,residual mountain
and volcanic mountain
Block mountain: A mountain formed
by natural faults in the earth's crust.
A good example of this is Black Forest
Mountain
Fold mountain : Fold mountains are
mountains formed mainly by the
effects of folding on layers within the
upper part of the Earth's crust.
Example : The Himalayan mountain
Residual mountain: They are also called
Relict mountains . They got this name by their
denuded conditions. They are actually
remnants of the older mountain ranges and
have been worn down by the various agents
of erosion and denudation such as river ,
glacier and air .A good example of this is
Aravils
Q1:Differentiate
between block
mountains and fold
mountain
Plateaus : A high
plain or tableland, is an area
of highland, usually consisting of
relatively flat terrain . There are
three four types of mountains
•Intermontane
• Piedmont
•Continental
Intemontane Plateaus : The plateaus which
are bordered by the mountains from
all sides are called intermontane
plateaus . A good example of this is
The Tibet Plateau
Piedmont Plateaus: These are the
Plateaus which are bordered by a
mountain from one side and by a sea
or a plain from the other . A good
example of this is Patagonia
Continental Plateau: These
Plateau are usually surrounded
by either seas or plains all
sides. A good example of this
is Arabian Peninsula
Differentiate
between
Intermontane
Plateau and
Piedmont Plateau
Plateau : A relatively flat and
a low lying land surface with
least difference between its
highest and lowest points is
called a plain . There are
three types of plains
•Alluvial
•Glacial
•Coastal
The Plains which are formed
by the deposition of
sediments brought down by
the river from the high
attitudes are called Alluvial
Plains. Example: Gangateic
Plain
Glacial Plains : Glacial Plains are
formed by the movement of the
Glaciers under the force of Gravity
.Such Plains are found in Canada ,
siberia,etc
Coastal Plains: The plains are at the
coast of the sea due to the
deposition work of the sea waves.
For example coastal plains of
eastern south America
Structural Plains : Such plains
are formed by the upliftment
of the continental shelf The
Malabar coastal of India is
the best example
Differentiate
between
Structural Plains
and Coastal
Plains
