Understanding Landforms

The video tutorial introduces various types of landforms found on Earth's surface, including mountains, hills, valleys, deserts, plains, and plateaus. Each landform is described in terms of its physical characteristics and geographical significance. Mountains are higher and steeper than surrounding areas, while hills are lower than mountains but still elevated. Valleys are low-lying areas between mountains and hills. Deserts are dry regions with minimal rainfall. Plains are flat lands suitable for agriculture, and plateaus are elevated flatlands distinct from their surroundings.
