Most of North Dakota's landforms are the result of glaciation and the drying up of Lake Agassiz. The badlands were formed by erosion which wore down rocks and topsoil.

North Dakota's landforms were shaped by various geologic processes over millions of years, including glaciation, erosion, sedimentation, and tectonic activity. Glaciers from the last Ice Age sculpted much of the state's landscape, leaving behind features like moraines, eskers, and kettle lakes. River systems like the Missouri and Red River also played a significant role in shaping the landforms of North Dakota.
