The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest parts of an area.

relief

Page 3: Mapping Earth’s Surface

A landform made up of flat or gently rolling land with low relief.

plain

Page 4: Mapping Earth’s Surface

A group of mountains that are closely related in shape.

mountain range

Page 5: Mapping Earth’s Surface

A feature of topography formed by the processes that shape Earth’s surface (ex. hill, valley).

landform

Page 6: Mapping Earth’s Surface

A landform with high elevation and high relief.

mountain

Page 7: Mapping Earth’s Surface

A large area of land where the topography is made up mainly of one type of landform.

landform region

Page 8: Mapping Earth’s Surface

The shape of the land determined by elevation, relief, and landforms.
