magnitude and relief features.

Valleys are flat areas between hills and mountains and are caused due to the actions of glaciers and rivers over millions of years. Valleys are divided into two kinds depending on their shape viz. V shaped valleys and U shaped valleys. V-shaped valleys are formed by the flowing rivers and Ushaped valleys are formed due to glaciers.
A canyon is an erosional landform made by a river. Sea cliffs have been the result of the erosion of waves along the shore. Major

Plateaus
Plateaus are nothing but flat highlands that are separated from the surroundings due to steep slopes. It rises
Plains
Plains are the landforms that form the flat or the low relief areas on the surface of the earth. This type of landform might be formed as a result of the sedimentation of eroded
Mountains
Mountains are areas higher than the surrounding areas which were formed due to the tectonic movements, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and even due to the erosion of the surrounding areas caused due
