Ocean and Continents Earth’s surface is made of oceans and continents. Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth surface.

Landforms Landforms are topographic features formed by processes that shape Earth’s surface Elevation is used to describe the height above sea level of a particular feature Relief is a term that scientist use to describe differences in elevation Topography is a term used to describe the shape of a geographic area

Landforms Plains are landforms with low relief and low elevations Plateaus are areas with low relief and high elevation Mountains are landforms with high relief and high elevations
