Big Ideas
- Physical processes such as erosion, tectonic activity, and volcanism create and shape Earth's landforms.
- Understanding landform development reveals how Earth's surface changes and influences human and natural environments.
Essential Questions
- What are the main types of landforms found on Earth, and how do they differ?
- What physical processes are responsible for the formation of plains, mountains, and islands?
- How does the development of different landforms impact the environment and human activities?
- How do landforms change over time due to natural processes?
- In what ways do multiple physical processes interact to create and modify landforms?
