You must have seen some of the land form features as shown in the figure.
The earth has an infinite variety of land form
Some part of the lithosphere maybe rugged and some flat.
These landform are a result of two process.
You will be amazed to know that the ground you are standing is slowly moving.
Within the earth, a continuous movement is taking place.

MOUNTAINS
A mountains is any natural elevation of the earth surface.
1. The mountain may have a small summit and a broad bas.
2. It is consider higher than the surrounding area.
3. Some mountains are even higher than the clouds.
4. In some mountains, there are permanently frozen rivers of ice, they are called Glaciers.
The Siachen Glacier in Kashmir is the second longestWorld’s on-polar areas

FOLD MOUNTAINS
The Himalayan mountains and the alps are young fold mountains with rugged relief and high conical
peaks.
The Aravali rang in India is one of the oldest fold mountains systems in the world.
The Appalachians in north America and the Ural mountains in Russia have rounded features and low
elevation . They are very old fold mountain.

BLOCK MOUNTAINS
Block Mountains are crated when large area are broken and displaced vertically.
The Rhine valley and the Vosges mountain in Europe are examples of such mountain
system
The mountain has a flat top

VOLCANIC MOUNTAINS
Volcanic Mountains are formed due to volcanic activity
Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mt. Fujiyama in Japan are examples of such mountains.
Volcanic mountains have a hole in the top middle where the lava comes out just as the
experimental figure of a volcano shown.

Plains provide much easy conditions of life.
