Detailed explanation-1: -Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains are the four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys, and basins. Tectonic plate movement under the Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills.
Detailed explanation-2: -Landforms are features on the Earth’s surface that make up the terrain, such as mountains, valleys, plains or plateaux. They also include coastal features, such as peninsulas or bays, and underwater features, such as ocean basins and mid-ocean ridges.
Detailed explanation-3: -Landforms are formed by both endogenic and exogenic forces. Endogenic forces: Sudden forces like earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides. Exogenic forces: Erosional and depositional landforms formed because of agents like water, wind, sea waves and glaciers.
