The landscape varies greatly throughout the United States due to geology and weather. Things like volcanoes, the Ice Age, floods, rain, winds and drought have made an impact on the land.

What are the elements of landscape?

The elements of landscape are as varied as those viewing the landscape, because it depends upon what is important to the viewer of the landscape what is regarded as a landscape element.Landscape elements are everything within the landscape area. Whatever is on or in the landscape is considered the landscape's elements or features. Here we have introduced two concepts that may seem vague: area and features. Now let's demystify them...Area: there are an infinite number of possibilities for areas of landscape. Why? The reason is simple: when you are considering a landscape, you get to say what the area is. You may be considering a landscape area that is on your property of your home or business, for example, or you may be considering a landscape of a national park, a state, or a bioregion such as the Sahara. You may be a painter who considers that the landscape is simply what is in view in front of you, all the way to the horizon. The point is that it is up to you, the landscape observer, to say what your landscape area is.Elements (aka Features): Basically, whatever there is within a particular landscape comprises the features or elements of that landscape. Features give a landscape its character, which is what makes each landscape unique. The landscape of the Alaskan tundra is very different from the landscape of the Amazon, for example. Examples of features are mountains and other geologic features, bodies of water, vegetation and every living thing, and built structures. Landscape includes lakes, rivers, and other non-oceanic water bodies that are on the land. Geologic features of the landscape may include such examples as mountains, hills, valleys, volcanoes, plains, cliffs, fault lines, rock outcroppings, not to mention soil types, etc. Landscape includes all life as well, including every plant and animal that lives in or moves across it. Landscape also includes everything built by people such as roads, buildings, and other structures. In addition, landscape is characterized by its climate and weather -- how much sun does the landscape receive? Does it receive rainfall or snow? What is the temperature throughout the year? etc.Here again, as with area, the possibilities of what comprises the features of a landscape are infinite. Why? The reason, again, is simple: you as the landscape observer get to observe whatever features you consider within a landscape. This utterly depends upon your level of awareness, and the focus / perspective / point of view that you use to filter your awareness that determine what features you consider.Still unclear? Let's break it down and illustrate with examples. What you pick up on really all depends upon your specialized focus, perspective or point of view. Really all it means is this: basic things you won't miss, such as mountains, rivers, trees, buildings, roads, and other obvious features. However, someone with a specialized perspective, such as a soil scientist, a real estate developer, a geologist, a homeowner, a rancher, a farmer, a biologist, a painter, or a vacationer will probably see things the others miss. It all depends again upon what is important to the landscape observer.
