2. Landforms A landform in the earth sciences comprises a geomorphological unit, and is largely defined by its surface form and location in the landscape. As part of the terrain a landform is an element of  topography

3. Mountains It’s a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill.

4. Mountains Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism.

5. Mount Everest Mount Everest   is the Earth's highest mountain.

6. Plateaus also called a  high plain  or  tableland , is an area of  highland , usually consisting of relatively flat terrain .

7. Tibetan Plateau The largest and highest plateau in the world. It is called the "roof of the world", which is still being formed by the collisions of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates.

8. Tibetan Plateau

9. Bukidnon Plateau

10. Plains A   plain  is a flat region. Plains occur as lowlands and at the bottoms of  valleys  but also on plateaus or uplands at high elevations .

11. Deserts A desert is a barren area of land where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. 

12. Sahara Desert

13. Antartic Desert

14. Loess Loess   is a  clastic , predominantly silt-sized sediment, which is formed by the accumulation of wind-blown dust .

15. Loess

16. Glaciers A  glacier   is a persistent body of dense  ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation  over many years, often  centuries .

17. Aletsch Glacier The  Aletsch Glacier , the largest glacier of the  Alps , in Switzerland

18. Quelccaya Ice Cap The  Quelccaya Ice Cap  is the largest glaciated area in the  tropics , in Peru

19. Valley  is a  depression  that is longer than it is wide. The terms  U-shaped  and V-shaped are descriptive terms of geography  to characterize the form of valleys.

20. Islands Is any piece of  sub-continental  land that is surrounded by  water . Very small islands such as emergent land features on  atolls  can be called  islets ,  skerries ,  cays  or keys . 

21. Philippines The Philippines is an Archipelago with 7, 107 islands.

22. Mauritus Island

23. Islet An  islet  is a very small  island .

24. Waterforms Earth’s Physical Features

25. Ocean  is a body of saline water that composes much of a planet's hydrosphere.

26. Pacific Ocean

27. Sea The sea, the world ocean, or simply the ocean. It moderates the Earth's climate and has important roles in the water cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle.

28. Sea and Ocean Seas are smaller than oceans and are usually located where the land and ocean meet. Typically, seas are partially enclosed by land.

29. Strait A strait is a naturally formed, narrow, typically navigable waterway that connects two larger bodies of water.

30. Strait of Gibraltar

31. Gulf A gulf in geography is a large bay that is an arm of an ocean or sea.

32. Gulf of Gabes

33. Gulf of Mexico

34. Bay A bay is a large body of water connected to an ocean or sea formed by an inlet of land due to the surrounding land blocking some waves and often reducing winds.

35. Manila Bay

36. Wineglass Bay

37. Lake Lake is surrounded by land apart from a river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake.

38. River A river is a natural watercourse , usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a lake, a sea, or another river. In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground or dries up completely at the end of its course, and does not reach another body of water.

39. Nile River  a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa, generally regarded as the  longest river  in the world . It is 6,853 km (4,258 miles) long. 

40. Amazon River

41. Spring A spring is a point where water flows out of the ground

42. Hotspring

43. Waterfall A waterfall is a place where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of a stream or river. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf. —

44. Angel Falls Angel Falls is a waterfall in Venezuela. It is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 m and a plunge of 807 m.

45. Lagoon is a shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by barrier islands or reefs.

46. Coastal Lagoon

47. Atoll Lagoon

48. Atoll Lagoon
