Landform

A landform is a land feature on the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body. They may be natural or may be anthropogenic^[1]^[2] (caused or influenced by human activity). Landforms together make up a given terrain, and their arrangement in the landscape is known as topography. Landforms include hills, mountains, canyons, and valleys, as well as shoreline features such as bays, peninsulas, and seas,^[3] including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges, volcanoes, and the great oceanic basins.
