Refimprove date April 2012 A landform in the earth sciences and geology sub fields, comprises a geomorphology geomorphological unit, and is largely defined by its surface form and location in the landscape, as part of the terrain , and as such, is typically an element of topography . Landform elements also include seascape and oceanic waterbody interface features such as bay s, peninsula s, sea s and so forth, including sub aqueous terrain features such as submersed mid Atlantic ridge mountain ranges , volcano es, and the great ocean basin s. Physical characteristics Landforms are categorised by characteristic physical attributes such as elevation, slope, orientation, Stratum stratification , rock exposure, and soil type. Gross physical features or landforms include intuitive elements such as berm s, mound s, hill s, ridge s, cliff s, valley s, river s, peninsula s and numerous other structural and size scaled i.e. pond s vs. lake s, hill s vs. mountain s elements including various kinds of inland and oceanic Waterbody waterbodies and sub surface features. wide image Cades Cove Panorama.JPG 600px This panorama in Great Smoky Mountains National Park has the readily identifiable physical features of a rolling plain , actually part of a broad valley , distant hill foothills , and a backdrop of the old, much weathering weathered Appalachian Mountains Appalachian mountain range Hierarchy of classes Ocean s and continent s exemplify the highest order landforms.

Unreferenced date March 2009 A table , when used in reference to landform s, is a hill , flank of a mountain, or mountain , that has a flat top. This landform has numerous names in addition to table , including Tuya Tepui Mesa Potrero landform Potrero Butte Plateau Fluvial terrace Terrace Description The term flat is relative when speaking of tables, and often the naming or identification of a table or table mountain is based on the appearance of the terrain feature from a distance or from below it. An example is Mesa Verde National Park Mesa Verde, Colorado , where the flat top of the mountain is both rolling terrain and cut by numerous deep canyons and arroyos, but whose rims appear quite flat from almost all directions, terminating in cliffs.

Danxia landform is formed from red colored sandstone s and conglomerate geology conglomerates of largely Cretaceous age. The landforms look very much like karst topography that forms in areas underlain by limestone s, but since the rocks that form Danxia are sandstones and conglomerates, they have been called pseudo karst landforms. Danxia landforms cover several provinces in southeast China. Taining County , Fujian Province, has very good examples of young danxia landforms wherein deep, narrow valleys have been formed. As the landform gets older, valleys widen and one gets isolated towers and ridges. The Danxia landform is named after Mount Danxia , one of the most famous examples of the Danxia landform. A very peculiar feature of Danxia landscape is the development of numerous cave s of various sizes and shapes. The caves tend to be shallow and isolated, unlike true karst terrain where caves tend to form deep, interconnecting networks. In 2010, several Danxia landscapes in southern China, with a general name of China Danxia , were inscribed as a World Heritage Site . ref http news.xinhuanet.com english2010 china 2010 08 02 c 13425443.htm China Danxia Landform proclaimed world heritage ref The six inscribed Danxia landform areas are Mount Langshan and Mount Wanfoshan Hunan Province , Mount Danxia Guangdong Province , Taining and Guanzhishan Fujian Province , Mount Longhu and Guifeng Jiangxi Province ...

Badlands landform The word malpa s in Spanish translates to badland , and this describes the area as being unusable for crops. Although a malpa s is often another word for the badlands that form by erosion of sedimentary rocks in the same environment, a malpa s is also often associated with such types of lava plain terrain as found in a volcanic field .

Notable examples of potreros include some of the many mesas of the Pajarito Plateau near Santa Fe, New Mexico United States .

Fluvioglacial landforms are landform s molded by glacier glacial meltwater . This discharge of glacial stream s, both over the surface supraglacial and beneath the ice sheet subglacial , is higher in the warmer summer months. As subglacial water often flows under Water pressure pressure , it has a high velocity and is very Turbulence turbulent . This high velocity enables it to transport a large amount of material which would not normally be transported in a regular stream of similar size boulders thus transported may remain as glacial erratic s in the post glacial terrain. As this material is transported it makes contact with the underside of a glacier and erodes vertically from below by Abrasion geology abrasion . This erosion creates valley subglacial valley s. When there is a decrease in discharge of the glacial steams, Deposition sediment deposition occurs, and is responsible for large groupings of landforms like esker s and drumlin s in glaciated areas. Pro glacial lake s leave their own passive impress on the glaciated landscape, recognizable by the flatness of the former lakebed and Terrace geology raised terrace s that mark former shorelines. More active massive scouring occurs when ice dam s of pro glacial lakes fail catastrophically in a glacial lake outburst flood the results can be seen, for example in the Channeled Scablands in the U.S. state of Washington U.S. state Washington , created by the cataclysmic Missoula Floods that swept periodically across eastern Washington and down the Columbia River Plateau during the Pleistocene Epoch geology epoch .

The lake colors indicate amounts of sediment or depth the deeper or clearer the water, the bluer the lake. A kettle kettle hole, pothole is a shallow, sediment filled body of water formed by retreating glacier s or draining floodwaters. Overview Kettles are fluvioglacial landform s occurring as the result of blocks of ice Ice calving calving from the front of a receding glacier and becoming partially to wholly buried by glacial outwash. Glacial outwash is generated when streams of meltwater flow away from the glacier and deposit sediment to form broad outwash plains called Outwash plain sandurs . When the ice blocks melt, kettle holes are left in the sandur. When the development of numerous kettle holes disrupt sandur surfaces, a jumbled array of ridges and mounds form, resembling kame and kettle topography. ref Bennet, M and Glasser, N Glacial Geology Ice Sheets and Landforms , page 262. John Wiley and Sons, 1997 ref Kettle holes can also occur in ridge shaped deposits of loose rock fragments called till . ref Tarbuck, E and Lutgens, F Earth , page 351. Prentice Hall, 2002 ref Kettle holes can form as the result of floods caused by the sudden drainage of an ice dammed lake. These floods, called j kulhlaup s, often rapidly deposit large quantities of sediment onto the sandur surface. The kettle holes are formed by the melting blocks of sediment rich ice that were transported and consequently buried by the j kulhlaups. It was found in field observations and laboratory simulations done by Maizels in 1992 that defensive wall rampart s form around the edge of kettle holes generated by j kulhlaups. The development of distinct types of ramparts depends on the concentration of rock fragments contained in the melted ice block and on how deeply the block was buried by sediment. ref Bennett, M and Glasser, N Glacial Geology Ice Sheets and Landforms , page 26 ... more details
