Landform Review

Discover the various natural features that shape the Earth's surface, including mountains, canyons, plateaus, and dunes. Mountains stand high with prominent peaks, while canyons are deep, steep valleys carved by rivers. Plateaus are flat areas elevated above the surrounding land, and dunes form mounds of sand shaped by wind. Peninsulas and capes extend into waters, while deltas form at river mouths, rich in sediment. Caves hide within the Earth, and isthmuses link land masses, showcasing the incredible diversity of our planet's landscapes.
