Landform Patterns

Fold mountains

e.g rocky moiuntain
Built from thick layers of seomentary rock
Where plates collide

Active volcanoes

Many around the facific ring of the
Located on plate boundaries

Plains and lowlands

Sedimentary rock
Lowland: Plain along coastlines
Plains: broad areas of level land
e.g Great plains . st lawrence

Ancient sheild

Created by volcanic activity
Carves out land from crosion
Later, it forms into metamorphic rock ( changes )
Mostly made of igneous (solodified magma)
