Topography of the earth may be Flat Sloped Hilly Mountainous Topography may be determined by…

-Elevation- the height above sea level. -Relief- the difference between highest and lowest elevation of land. -Landform- this shape of the land forms when the surface of the earth changes by force.

Earth has 3 types of landforms Describe the difference…

Plains- these are flat surfaces. Usually found along the sea coast. They have low elevation and low relief  Mountains- High elevation and high relief. These create higher elevationson earth’s surface  Plateau- These have high elevation and a level surface. They may not always be smooth at the top.
