The world project. Landscapes and landforms. There are three types of landscapes. Mountain, coastal, flat. Landscapes have characteristic landforms. Landforms are natural features on the earth's surface.

2
00:00:42,740 --> 00:00:54,740
They are created as a result of various forces of nature, such as wind, water, ice and movement of tectonic plates.

3
00:00:54,740 --> 00:01:03,740
Some landforms are created in a matter of few hours, while others take millions of years to appear.

4
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:12,560
In a mountain landscape, it is common to find mountains and valleys.

5
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:20,000
Mountains are large landforms that have a peak at the top.

6
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Valleys are low areas of land between hills or mountains,

7
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
typically with a river or stream flowing through it.

8
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:40,099
In a coastal landscape it is common to find islands and cliffs.

9
00:01:40,099 --> 00:01:46,989
An island is a piece of land surrounded by water.

10
00:01:46,989 --> 00:01:56,209
A cliff is a steep rock face especially at the edge of the sea.

11
00:01:56,209 --> 00:02:05,670
In a flat landscape it is common to find plateaus and plains.

12
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:15,090
Plateaus are on a higher level but unlike mountains they are flat on the top.

13
00:02:15,090 --> 00:02:20,949
are large areas of flat land.
