What is a Landform?
The Earth is covered with different types of landforms.
A landform is a natural feature on the surface of Earth.
Some landforms are big, like oceans. Other landforms are
small, like hills. Some landforms are high like a volcano. Other
landforms are deep like a valley. No two landforms are exactly
the same.

How do Landforms Change?


The Earth’s surface is always changing because of forces in
nature. The three main forces that cause change are wind, water
and ice. Most of the time changes happen slowly over many, many
years. Erosion causes slow changes. Erosion is when wind, ice or
water changes the shape of land. For example, as water moves
down a river, the water pushes against the sides of cliffs and
shapes them by breaking off little pieces of rock or dirt. This
changes the shape of the cliff.

When little pieces of rock or dirt are eroded away from a


landform they have to go somewhere. The little pieces are carried
by water, ice or wind to another area and left in this new spot. This
is called deposition. For example, in a desert, wind can cause some
areas of sand to be flat and other areas to pile up into a sand
dune. Over time, the sand
dune will get bigger as more
sand is deposited.
