Relief Features and Landforms

1. Relief features refer to the physical features of the land surface, such as hills, valleys, plains, mountains etc. 2. Landforms are the features on the land surface that are created by natural processes such as erosion, weathering, and deposits of sediment. 3. Relief features can be used to identify the elevation of the land and the types of landforms that are present. 4. The shape of the land is determined by the combination of relief features and landforms. 5. The most common landforms are mountains, plateaus, and plains. 6. Mountains are the highest relief features on the surface of the earth and are formed by the folding and faulting of rocks. 7. Plateaus are large, flat areas of land that are surrounded by mountains and are usually found at higher elevations. 8. Plains are flat, low-lying areas of land that have been formed by the erosion of rivers and other sources of water.
