• Landforms are features that make up the Earth's
  surface. There are many kinds of landforms.
• Some landforms are created by the action of wind,
  water, and ice. This action physically changes
  the Earth's surface by carving and eroding land
  surfaces, carrying and depositing soil, sand and
  other debris.
• Crustal movement and other tectonic activity
  inside Earth create landforms mountains, faults,
  sinks, and volcanos.
• Topographic maps and models are used to represent
  landforms and help scientists better understand
  objects and processes.

Landforms

• Plains large, flat areas which often have
  thick, fertile soils and grassy meadows
• Coastal plains stretch along coastal areas and
  are often called lowlands.
• Interior plains are in the central part of a
  continent.
• Plateaus flat, raised areas of land made up of
  nearly horizontal rocks their edges rise steeply
  from the area around them.

A line of combines harvest a field of wheat on
Montanas Great Plains, which cover about
two-thirds of the state. Fertile soil makes the
region ideal for growing crops such as wheat, the
states leading agricultural crop.

Four corners region and Colorado Plateau
Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico und Utah.

Mountains

• Folded mountains form when rock layers are
  squeezed from opposite sides, causing the rock
  layers to fold like a rug pushed up against the
  wall.
• Forces within the Earth push the crust up to form
  upwarped mountains.
• Fault-block mountains form when tilted blocks of
  rock are separated by faults from the surrounding
  rock.
• Layers of molten material pile up forming
  cone-shaped volcanic mountains.

Folded Mountains
This image shows a view of the Himalayan
Mountain belt in Pakistan, as viewed from an
orbiting space shuttle. The entire field of view
shows parallel ridges and valleys of folded
mountains. 4. In what direction was pressure
applied to create the Himalayan Mountains?
