What to Focus On

  • Geomorphology is the scientific study of landforms
  • Landforms significantly influence human life and activities
  • They affect climate, settlement patterns, and economic development

  • Mountains rise considerably above surrounding areas
  • Orogenesis is the process of mountain building
  • Evidence of enormous crustal deformation forces

  • Three main types based on formation process
  • Each type reflects different geological forces
  • Formation processes occur over millions of years

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All mountains are formed by the same process - rock layers being pushed up

Plateaus are just flat mountains or high plains

Young fold mountains are called 'young' because they formed recently in human history
