What to Focus On

  • Landforms are natural features on Earth’s surface.
  • Examples: mountains, valleys, plateaus, plains.
  • 29% of Earth is land; 71% is water.

  • Endogenic forces come from inside the Earth.
  • Exogenic forces act on the Earth’s surface.
  • Endogenic forces cause folding, faulting, and volcanoes.

  • Fold mountains are formed by compression of tectonic plates.
  • Young fold mountains are high and rugged; old ones are low and rounded.
  • Block mountains are formed by faulting.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All mountains are formed by folding of rocks, so all mountains are fold mountains.

Plateaus are just flat mountains and are formed the same way as mountains.

Rift valleys are formed by rivers eroding the land over time.
