What is a Landform?

A landform is the formation of rock and dirt found on Earth’s surface which can be larger than a continent or smaller than a pond. These are features that make up earth’s surface. The highest order of landforms can be oceans or continents. Landforms are created by a lot of factors like erosion, water, wind etc. Biological factors sometimes influence them. For example corals and algae form the coral reef which is a natural process, so coral reefs are also called landforms. Different kinds of inlands or oceanic water bodies or surface are included to landforms because they are the physical features of the earth’s surface. Landforms are formed by natural reasons.
