Land forms in Ireland and Great Britain M. White

What are Ireland’s main landforms? Mountains and hills The island features a lowland area in its center, with glacier-smoothed mountains around much of the edge. Ireland's main mountain ranges are the Donegal Mountains in the northwest, Wicklow Mountains in the east, Mountains of Connemara in the west and Mountains of Kerry in the southwest.

What are Ireland’s main landforms? Lakes and Rivers Longest and most famous of Ireland's rivers is the 240-mile-long River Shannon. Other important rivers include the Barrow, Blackwater, Boyne, Finn, Lee, Liffey, Nore, Slaney and Suir. Among the country’s main lakes, which are called loughs in Ireland, are the Loughs Conn, Corrib, and Mask. Lough Allen, Lough Bafin, Lough Derg and Lough Ree are four big lakes formed by the River Shannon.

What are Ireland’s main landforms? Coasts Ireland is famous for the beautiful craggy sea cliffs along its western coastline. Among the most dramatic are the Cliffs of Moher, which reach over 700 feet. Scotland lies to the northwest of the island, across the North Channel. Directly to the east, the Irish Sea separates Ireland from England.

What are great Britain's main landforms? Pennines The Pennines are England's major mountain range, extending for nearly 250 miles in a north-to-south direction, essentially forming the backbone of the country. The peaks of these limestone hills reach 2,000 to 3,000 feet. Smaller sub-ranges lie within the Pennines or protrude outward from them, such as the Yorkshire Dales.

What are great Britain's main landforms? Cheviot Hills The Cheviot Hills denote the boundary between England and its northern neighbor, Scotland. Adjacent to the northern edge of the Pennines, this range stretches for 30 miles along the English-Scottish border. Elevations in the steep but rolling Cheviot Hills reach over 2,600 feet, with their summits separated by desolate but picturesque glens.

What are great Britain's main landforms? The Fens Although hills cover much of England's countryside, low-lying land does exist, particularly in the south and east of the nation. The lowest point in not only England but all of Great Britain is the Fens, situated about 100 miles north of London. Elevations here reach as low as 13 feet below sea level.
