Landforms are naturally occurring features of the Earth's surface. They are the natural physical features that the Earth possesses and are part of its landscape. Some common examples of landforms are: mountains, valleys, plateaus, hills, glaciers, valleys, canyons, and caves.
Landforms form on the surface of the Earth over many hundreds or thousands of years or more. Surface erosion often contributes to the creation of landforms. In addition, wind, meteorites, and changing condition of the Earth can create landforms. The movement of the crust of the Earth can also result in landforms appearing in time.
An archipelago is a landform that is a group of multiple islands. A basin is an area of land that is surrounded by higher land. A valley is an area of depressed land that is located between mountains or hills. There are a number of other types of landforms that exist as well.
