a plateu
A large tall rocky area of land that protrudes from the earth's surface is a mountain. Mountains are formed by the bending and buckling of the rock under the land.
Because Earth is very very large and we live just on the very surface.
What forces would lead to the movement of the plates over the surface of the earth? At this time it is believed this movement results from mantle convection. Deep within the earth there is a large amount of heat coming from two sources: the magma remnants of the Great Bombardment, and radiation from radioactive elements. This heat, in accordance with the 2 ndlaw of thermodynamics, must flow to a cooler place, and subsequently rises to the surface of the Earth. If the Earth were smaller, this heat would flow by conduction, but because of the relatively large size of the Earth, convection also takes place. Thus, as in heating a pot of water on a stove, convection currents are established within the earth, which bring warm material to the surface and send cooler material to the interior.
They both change the Earth's surface and they both change landforms into a different shape.

The name given to a large area of level land on the Earth's surface is a plateau. A plateau also typically is elevated above the surrounding area. Such areas are also sometimes called tablelands.

Large bodies of ice that move across the Earth's surface are glaciers.
Large landmasses on the earth's surface are the continents.These are (in no particular order):AfricaAsiaAustraliaEuropeNorth AmericaSouth AmericaAntarctica
A large elongated depression with steep walls formed by the downward displacement of a block of the earth's surface between nearly parallel faults or fault systems.
the earth is too large to move
The ocean is 71% of the Earth's Surface.

The continent of Antarctica covers about 10% of the earth's surface. It is about as large as USA and Mexico combined.
its like a large bump in the earth surface!
