Climate and gravity are other external factors influencing the topography of coastal lands. Islands Islands are landforms that are surrounded entirely by water but are smaller than the size of a continent. They can form in an ocean, sea, lake, or river. Volcanic activity and plate tectonics (...
Warm and cold ocean currents affect the climates of nearby coastal areas; for example, the Gulf Stream warms the climate of northwestern Europe.Landforms affect climate. Mountains are cooler, windier, and wetter than valleys; one example is Mount K~limanjaro, which is near the equator but ...

Valleys represents low areas of land surrounded by elevated landforms such as mountains, hills, or plateaus. The different types include V-shaped (river), U-shaped (glacier), rift, and flat-floored valleys. Where is a famous valley? One famous valley is the Grand Canyon, locate in southeaste...
Raised coastal landforms as products of modern process variations, and their relevance in eustatic sea-level studies: examples from eastern Ireland Products of marine processes occupy a considerable vertical range, which varies along the shore. Extreme waves can both cause erosion and form depositional...
Fault Formation:Where plates slide past each other, fractures develop. This faulting often leads to crustal deformation and the creation of offset landforms such as displaced rivers or roads. Transform Boundaries in Plate Tectonics Showing Horizontal Movement of Earth's Crust Plates ...
