What are the minor landforms?

Minor landforms are smaller geological features found on the Earth's surface, such as hills, valleys, dunes, ridges, and cliffs. They are typically smaller in scale compared to major landforms like mountains, plateaus, and plains, but still play important roles in shaping the landscape and influencing ecological processes.


What landforms can be founf in mesoamercia?

In Mesoamerica, some common landforms include mountains, valleys, plateaus, and coastal plains. Volcanoes are also prevalent in the region, with some still active today. Additionally, there are rivers and lakes that contribute to the diverse geography of Mesoamerica.


How can you determine the age of landforms?

The age of a landform can be determined depending on the type of landform. A tree's age can be counted by it's ringlets while a plant's can sometimes be found by it's shade. However, there are still many landforms for which an age cannot be determined unless the landform can be asked.


What does pictures of landforms formed by deposition look like?

Landforms formed by sedimentary processes tend to have layers of gravel, sand and silt lying parallel to each other, and mainly horizontal. Where these juvenile landforms have become formed into rock, they still preserve the original layering and order of layers. Often over very large areas. Commonly they will have beds of shells or other fossils, and sometimes beds of coal. Whether they are very fine, or sandy is determined by how close to the coast they were formed from their river mouth.


What is the landforms are on the North American plate?

There are numerous types of landforms in North America. Mountains, deserts, basins, and lakes can all be found in North America.Seriously? In answer to "What kids of... are found ...". All I can answer is "those born of Nanny goats".Are you people serious? Anybody with half a brain could find the answer to "What kinds of landforms are found in N.America" in Wikipedia. Deserts, to my knowledge are not "landforms", landforms, in general, describe topography, 'desert' describes an area, regardless of topography, that suffers from extremely low, to almost no, rainfall. e.g., The Gobi desert is a landform characterized by a plateau. The Atacama desert in Chile, has topographic features, that are mountainous, y'know the Andes.BTW the answer projected, besides the error about deserts being a landform, left out out deltas, alluvial plains, escarpments, plateaus. plains, ravines, valleys, super volcano calderas (Yellowstone). Glacier debris (Long Island).What about a Mesa or a Butte?Without a precise definition of "landform", it's impossible to be 100% correct. Lakes, seem an oxymoron in the case of "landform", the landform responsible for retaining the water, is possibly, either, a basin, a depression, a caldera, or, amongst still more, a meteor crater that happened to be in a basin, that was also in a depression, that happened to be on a plateau, which meant that a lot of rain falling on the plateau collected in one spot.
