Landform Patterns

Active Volcanoes

Created by volcanic activity

Mostly made of igneous rock (solidified magma)

Later, it forms into metamorphic rock (changes)

Carves out land from erosion

Plants and Lowlands

Plains: broad areas of level land

E.g Great plains-St. Lawrence Lowlands

Lowlands: Plains along coastlines

Sedimentary Rock

Ancient Shields

Located on plate boundaries

Many around the Pacific Ring Of Fire

Fold Mountain

Where plates collide

Built from thick layers of sedimentary rock

E.g Rocky Mountains
