Major landforms include mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains. A valley is a low-lying area between hills or mountains formed by erosion. A plateau is a large, relatively flat highland separated from surrounding land by steep slopes. A mountain is a landform over 600 meters in elevation. Plains are low-lying areas less than 100 meters above sea level. Hills are lower elevations with distinct summits. Rivers are bodies of fresh water flowing through channels to the sea or ocean.
