			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A landform is the formation of rock and dirt found on Earth’s surface which can be larger than a continent or smaller than a pond. In geological science it is referred that they are features that make up earth’s surface. The highest order of <strong>landforms</strong> can be oceans or continents. They are created by a lot of factors like plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, wind etc. Biological factors sometimes influence them. For example corals and algae form the coral reef which is a natural process, so coral reefs are also called <strong>landforms</strong>. They comprise a geomorphological unit. Oceanic water body interface like ocean, sea, bay, peninsulas, gulf, ocean etc are also included to the landform. <a title="Landforms" href="http://worldlandforms.com/"><strong>Landforms</strong> </a>are grouped by the physical characteristic like the elevation or slope or orientation etc. It is also classified with rock exposure, soil type, formation etc. Different kinds of inlands or oceanic water bodies or surface are included to <strong>landforms</strong>. They are the physical features of the l earth&#8217;s surface. <a title="Mountains" href="http://worldlandforms.com/landforms/mountain/">Mountains</a>, <a title="Valley" href="http://worldlandforms.com/landforms/valley/">valley</a>, <a title="Ocean" href="http://worldlandforms.com/landforms/ocean/">oceans</a>, <a title="Bay" href="http://worldlandforms.com/landforms/bay/">bay</a>, <a title="Volcano" href="http://worldlandforms.com/landforms/volcano/">volcano</a> etc all are included to them. All of them are formed by natural reasons.</p>
<p>Environmental or natural factors like plate tectonics, erosion, deposition etc can generate <strong>landforms</strong>. Man made features can not generate them and also geographic features are not included in them. They are not only common in this earth but also common in other planets also. For example mountains, valley, volcanoes etc are also found in other planets in the universe. <strong>Landforms</strong> are categorized by the processes that create them. They are &#8211; Aeolian, coastal, oceanic, erosion, fluvial, mountain, glacial and volcanic. Each of the categories is divided into sub-category. Aeolian <strong>landforms</strong> are formed by winds. Some of the Aeolian class <strong>landforms</strong> are –dune, playa, desert pavements etc. Costal or oceanic types are normally formed by erosion. Sea, ocean, gulf, bay, coral reef, fjord, peninsula etc are oceanic category. Erosion <strong>landforms</strong> included with Bench, butte, canyon, cave, cliff, hogback, hoodoo, lavaka, mesa, peneplain, potrero, ridge, rock formations, tea table, tepui, valley etc. Erosion <strong>landforms</strong> are formed by climatic factors. Motion of sediments and erosion is the cause of fluvial <strong>landforms</strong>. Cave, cliff, river etc are some fluvial <strong>landforms</strong>.</p>
<p>Wind, water and ice and also by the movement of the earth’s tectonic plates are some primary reasons of forming landform. It took millions of years to form them but some of them are formed within 10,000 years to some hours. Volcanic <strong>landforms</strong> are formed quickly. Landscape is the area of group of <strong>landforms</strong>. A landscape can be included with a lot of <strong>landforms</strong> like rivers, mountains, sea, hills etc. As it is mentioned mountains are the highest order <strong>landforms</strong> while oceanic basins are the lowest order. Oceanic basins are very large and most of the oceanic basin can be found anywhere under the sea. Ground basins are also same as the underwater basin. Both of them are <strong>landforms</strong>. They are forming from the first day of the earth and still forming. Some of them have natural beauty which attacks everyone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Landforms</h1>
<p>The records have been skewed about global warming and the news has been alarmed. People have fallen for it for over 30 years while people have made billions off the lies. It is very sad that the mainstream news media has been trying to cover up the fraud of this case. We can&#8217;t even trust the United Nations in the matter. You are probably with the majority of the people about not knowing what to believe on global warming.</p>
<p>In the terms of geology, land changes are a lot easier to study than the warming of the earth. The facts of the changing of the land are sounder that the facts based on global warming. The changing of land is a lot more alarming. It is very frightening that the people of the world have not seen this cause to action. It has been going on for centuries.</p>
<p>Changing landforms can benefit and have negative impacts on people. Changing landforms can have a far more negative impact on the environment. It has been factually proven, unlike the so called man made global warming or the newer term, climate change. A very good example is that the flows of <a title="River" href="http://worldlandforms.com/landforms/river/">rivers</a> have been changed to help people in many ways. This has caused the destruction of fish and animals. These changes have caused some extinction of important fish and animals.</p>
<p>A very good example of negative effects on changing landforms is the destruction of <a title="Forest Landform" href="http://worldlandforms.com/landforms/forest/">forest landforms</a>. Many animals have also died or even became extinct. On the news we see or hear of the animals that are on the endangered species list because their forest is destroyed. We also have fewer trees to clean up the carbon dioxide in air that creates more pollution. If we change our forest our planet can change for the worse.</p>
<p>New Orleans would be a negative impact. The weather can be changed from modifying our land from high to low or low to high. This can cause more rain in an area or even drought. Changing weather is natural but changing landforms can cause unnatural change. As a society, we need to take this in consideration.</p>
<p>It is obvious that we do need to change landforms to live. We really do need to study how changing landforms can have a negative impact on our world. It is true that changing landforms changes many things like the death of animals, the change of weather and the environment. There is a lot of doubt among people about global warming. Global warming cannot be trust, so people should focus their attention on saving <a title="Landforms" href="http://worldlandforms.com/">landforms</a>. Take care of our planet, especially each and every <a title="Landform" href="http://worldlandforms.com/">landform</a> we can see.</p>
