Older and rounder, these mountains were split by plate tectonics, and the rest of them are in Africa.

Peneplain mountain range

A monadnock

A southwest Mesa

Scott’s Bluff (it’s a Butte)

Section 12.4 Review 1.List five agents (reasons) for (of) erosion. 2.What natural phenomena can trigger a landslide? 3.What three farming methods INCREASE the rate of soil erosion? 4.Could you determine if a landform is a peneplain or a depositional plain by flying over it in an airplane? Explain your reasoning.
