1. Landscape Characteristics Earth’s landscapes are the results of the interaction of crustal materials, forces, climate, human activities, and time.

2. Mountains

7. Plateaus
Horizontal Rock structure with high elevation.

10. Plains

22. Summary
Landscape regions are determined by bedrock structure
Mountains areas of high elevation and non-horizontal bedrock
Plateaus areas of middle elevation and horizontal bedrock
sometimes dissected to appear like mountains
Plains areas of low elevation and horizontal bedrock
determined by bedrock structure and type Drainage patterns

23. Landscape Development

28. Landscape Development Summary
•Landscape regions are determined by:
Bedrock structure and elevation
•Stream drainage patterns are determined by:
Bedrock structure
•Landscape development is determined by: Amount of uplifting forces compared to leveling forces.
•Landscape region formed when uplift is greater than erosion:
