The major landforms of the Earth are mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains. Oceans and continents are also considered landforms, with oceans covering almost 70% of the Earths surface. Landforms are defined by their shape, location, and how they were formed. Here are some examples of each major landform:

• Mountains: These are landforms that are much higher than their surroundings and are higher than a hill. They can be remembered by how breathtaking they are when seen in person.

• Hills: These are smaller than mountains but rise out of the land. They can be rolling or steep.

• Plateaus: These are relatively flat areas of land that are high and higher than a plain landform.

• Plains: These are flat areas of land that are lower than plateaus and are the largest of all the landforms, covering over 50% of the Earths land surface.

Other types of landforms include valleys, canyons, deserts, shorelines, and glaciers. Minor landforms are also present in different biomes and are created over millions of years by processes such as wind erosion, water erosion, tectonic activity, weathering, ocean currents, and volcanic eruptions.
