Geomorphology Landforms

What are the three main types of landforms based on their origin?

• Canyon, Valley, Plain

• Desert, Mountain, Plateau

• Volcanic, Coastal, Erosional

• Tectonic, Fluvial, Glacial

Explain the difference between fluvial and glacial landforms.

• Glacial landforms are formed by rivers and streams.

• Fluvial landforms are created by glaciers.

• Fluvial landforms are created by rivers and streams, while glacial landforms are formed by glaciers.

• Fluvial landforms are only found in cold regions.

How are structural landforms formed?

• Through volcanic eruptions

• Through geological processes such as tectonic movements, erosion, weathering, and deposition.

• By human activities

• Due to extraterrestrial impacts

Discuss the classification of landforms based on their shape.

• Deserts, oceans, forests, tundras

• Mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, hills, and basins.

• Canyons, swamps, glaciers, deserts

• Rivers, lakes, oceans, forests

Give examples of erosional and depositional landforms.

• Rivers, forests, deserts

• Mountains, glaciers, plateaus

• Volcanoes, lakes, islands

• Canyons, valleys, sea cliffs, deltas, sand dunes, alluvial fans
