What are plains?
These landforms are known for their explosive nature.
What are volcanoes?
This natural process transports pieces of rocks and landforms through wind, water, and living organisms.
What is erosion?
Nepal, Switzerland, Canada, and the United States are home to some of the largest examples of this landform.
What are mountains?
What is preserved remains of a once living thing?
Fossil
Although not the tallest of landforms, these can still be difficult to climb, but fun to sled down.

What are tectonic forces?

Facts or information supporting a claim or proposition
Evidence
This landform is created when mountains erode or when magma swells up below the surface of the earth.
What are plateaus?
These landforms are formed over thousands of years by compressed ice and snow.
What are glaciers?
This natural process explains how eroded soil and rock is transported and creates new landforms in a new location.
What is deposition?
What natural material forms deltas?
What is sediment?
What does extinct mean?

What is a desert?
This landform is usually in the shape of a triangle and is found where rivers meet the ocean.
What are deltas?
