Chapter: 03. Major Landforms Of The Earth

⁠
Mountains contribute to hydroelectricity generation because rivers originating from mountain glaciers can be dammed to create reservoirs, and the stored water’s flow can be used to generate electricity.
Fold mountains are formed by the folding of Earth’s crust due to compression, whereas block mountains are formed by the fracturing (faulting) of rock strata and the subsequent sinking of land between the cracks.
A vent is the opening through which molten lava, ash, cinder, and dust come out on the surface from deep inside the Earth.
Mountainous regions are attractive for tourists due to their natural scenic beauty, providing opportunities for relaxation and various recreational activities like paragliding and skiing.
The Isthmus of Panama connects North America and South America.

A ‘tableland’ is another term for a plateau, describing its relatively flat or level top surface.
The Ural Mountains, the Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea separate Asia and Europe.
Faulting is the rupturing or fracturing of rock strata due to strain, which leads to the formation of block mountains.
An intermontane plateau is a type of plateau that is surrounded by mountains on all sides.
An isthmus is an elongated, narrow piece of land, with water on each side, that joins two large land masses.
Deposition is the rebuilding of a lowered land surface by materials like sediment.
Two young fold mountain ranges are the Himalayas of Asia and the Rockies of North America.
Inland drainage refers to basins where the rivers flowing into them do not reach the sea but instead terminate within the basin itself.
The largest hot desert in the world is the Sahara Desert, located in Africa.
Two volcanic mountains in Italy are Mt Vesuvius and Mt Etna.
Pangaea was the single large land mass that existed on the surface of the Earth millions of years ago.
India’s two groups of islands are the Lakshadweep Islands and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Topography is the arrangement of landforms in a landscape.
Plains are suitable for the construction of roads and railways due to their flat and soft surface, which makes building infrastructure easier.
An intermontane plateau is a type of plateau that is surrounded by mountains on all sides.
River valleys are usually V-shaped.
Structural plains are plains that lie near the coast of a sea or an ocean, mainly formed by the uplift of a part of the seafloor or continental shelf.

Fold mountains are formed by the folding of Earth’s crust due to compression, whereas block mountains are formed by the fracturing (faulting) of rock strata and the subsequent sinking of land between the cracks.
Fold mountains are formed by compression, caused by powerful forces generated by movements inside the Earth.
The Colorado Plateau is a famous dissected plateau, and it is associated with the Grand Canyon.

A ‘tableland’ is another term for a plateau, describing its relatively flat or level top surface.
An isthmus is an elongated, narrow piece of land, with water on each side, that joins two large land masses.
Landforms influence weather such that generally, the higher one goes (like in mountains), the colder it gets, while plains and valleys tend to be warmer.
Fold mountains are formed by compression, caused by powerful forces generated by movements inside the Earth.
An example of an old fold mountain is the Urals in Russia.
The atmosphere and humans also carry out external processes on landforms.
Faulting is the rupturing or fracturing of rock strata due to strain, which leads to the formation of block mountains.
A vent is the opening through which molten lava, ash, cinder, and dust come out on the surface from deep inside the Earth.
River plains are primarily built by alluvium deposited by big rivers and their tributaries.
Varahamihira’s work, the Brihat-Samhita, includes descriptions of various geographical features.
Deposition is the rebuilding of a lowered land surface by materials like sediment.
There are seven continents in the world.
Structural plains are plains that lie near the coast of a sea or an ocean, mainly formed by the uplift of a part of the seafloor or continental shelf.
Two volcanic mountains in Italy are Mt Vesuvius and Mt Etna.
The Atlantic Ocean separates Africa from the two Americas on its west side.
A peneplain is a level land surface produced by erosion over a long period, undisturbed by crustal movement.
An example of a piedmont plateau is the Patagonia Plateau in South America.
Pangaea was the single large land mass that existed on the surface of the Earth millions of years ago.
River valleys are usually V-shaped.
Topography is the arrangement of landforms in a landscape.
Europe is known for having the most indented coastline.
River plains are primarily built by alluvium deposited by big rivers and their tributaries.
There are seven continents in the world.
The Colorado Plateau is a famous dissected plateau, and it is associated with the Grand Canyon.
Human actions like mining and dam building constantly impact landforms, highlighting the need to minimize such activities for landform conservation and sustainable development.
The two processes are Internal processes (Endogenous) and External processes (Exogenous).
