What is a landform?
The individual surface features of the Earth identified by their shape, e.g. dunes, plateaus, canyons, beaches, plains, rivers and valleys.

What is weathering
The physical and human forces that work in combination to form and transform the world, e.g. erosion, the water cycle, migration or urbanisation.

What is erosion?
