Landforms are the natural shapes or features of the land.. There are many different types of landforms found on Earth.. What are Landforms?. Mountain. A mountain is a place on Earth’s surface that is much higher than the land around it.. With over four billion people living in coastal areas and the numbers growing rapidly each year, the need to understand and manage these areas is critical. Coastal areas are one of the most dynamic environments on the earth and area being constantly re-shaped by both natural processes and human development. They have both economic and environmental value – and it is these conflicting demands that bring about the need for long-term, sustainable management strategies.. Brooke Ard. 5. th. Grade.
