Study Landforms and Rivers

Earth\'s surface is shaped by powerful natural forces — moving tectonic plates, flowing water, wind, and ice. These forces create the diverse landforms and bodies of water we see across our planet. Understanding them helps us read maps, understand geography, and appreciate how landscapes affect where people live.
