Mountains are classified based on their height and formation, such as volcanic, fold, or block mountains. Valleys are classified based on their shape and formation, such as V-shaped valleys carved by rivers or U-shaped valleys carved by glaciers. Plains are classified based on their elevation, with low-lying coastal plains and high plateaus being common types.
Mountains, Plains and valleys are examples of Landforms
Hills, mountains, plains, canyons, valleys
Three types of topography on Earth's surface are mountains, valleys, and plains. Mountains are elevated landforms with steep slopes, valleys are low-lying areas between hills or mountains, and plains are flat or gently sloping land areas. These different types of topography are shaped by various geological processes such as erosion, tectonic activity, and weathering.
Yes, the ocean floor can have mountain ridges, valleys, and plains. Mountain ridges are formed by tectonic activity, valleys may be created by the movement of tectonic plates, and plains can result from sedimentation and volcanic activity. These features are important in shaping the ocean floor's topography.
Some common landforms on Earth include mountains, plains, plateaus, valleys, deserts, and coastlines. These landforms are shaped by various geological processes like erosion, weathering, and tectonic movements.
