Landforms

Types of Landforms Plains Plateaus Hills Mountains

Plains

Elevation and local relief – low Farmland Deserts Coastal valleys Most people live in this land form Easy to build and put in roads Easy to grow crops

Plateaus

Elevation is high and local relief is low Hard to grow crops and build roads Grazing done Examples: Antarctica, Greenland, parts of Africa

Mountains

How mountains are formed: Volcanoes Dome Fault Folding Elevation and local relief is high

Volcanoes

Mountain Groups Ring of Fire – Circles the Pacific Ocean – Longest mountain chain – Andes, South America

Mountain Groups Pamir Mountain Hub – Spokes of wheel – Asia, Europe – Mt. Everest – world’s tallest mountain – Alps - Europe

Hills

Elevation and local relief – high but not as high as mountains Easier to build and put in roads Uses – Growing crops – Grazing animals – Lumbering – Mining
