    The five major terrains refer to the five landforms on the earth, which are plains, hills, mountains, plateaus, and basins.

    1. Plains

    The area on land with low elevation and less undulating ground is called a plain. Refers to a vast and flat land of land. Its main characteristics are that the terrain is low and flat, gently undulating, the relative height is generally not more than 55 meters, and the slope is below 5°.

    The common feature of the plain and the plateau is that the ground is undulating, but the difference is that the plain has a low altitude, generally below 200 meters, while the plateau has a higher altitude and a steep edge; The difference with hills is that there are less undulations. Plains are the flattest areas on land. The plains are wide and flat, with little undulations.

    2. Hills

    Hills are generally above 250 meters above sea level, below 550 meters, and the relative height is generally not more than 210 meters.

    3. Mountains

    In mountainous areas, the surface morphology is defined as more than 500 meters above sea level and more than 200 meters in relative elevation according to elevation and undulation characteristics.

    4. Plateau

    The altitude is generally more than 1000 meters, the area is vast, the terrain is open, the surrounding area is bounded by obvious steep slopes, and the relatively complete large-scale uplift area is called the plateau. The main difference between the plateau and the plain is the higher altitude, which distinguishes it from the mountains with a complete large area of uplift. The plateau is known as the "stage of the earth", which is formed in the long-term continuous large-scale crustal uplift.

    It is distinguished from the plains by its greater height, and from the mountains by its larger gentle ground and smaller undulations. Some plateaus have a broad and flat surface, and the terrain is not very undulating; Some of the high principles are undulating and the terrain changes greatly.

    5. Basin

    A basin, as the name suggests, is like a large basin placed on the ground, so people call the basin-like terrain with high (mountains or plateaus) around it and low (plains or hills) in the middle as a basin. The largest basin on Earth is in the middle of the East African continent, called the Congo Basin or Zaire Basin, which is about 1 3 times the size of Canada. This is an important agricultural region in Africa, and the edge of the basin is rich in mineral resources.

    <> sixteen kinds.

    1. Danxia landform. It is a general term for special landforms such as square mountains, strange peaks, cliffs, caves and stone pillars composed of huge red sandstone and conglomerate.

    2. Karst landform. A general term for surface and underground forms formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks by water with dissolving power. Also known as karst landforms.

    3. Coastal landforms. A general term for various landforms formed by the combined action of tectonic movements, seawater dynamics, biological processes and climatic factors.

    4. Aeolian landform. The surface morphology formed by the accumulation of wind. Under the conditions of arid and semi-arid climate and abundant wind and sand, it is formed by accumulation after wind transport.

    5. Wind erosion landform. Wind blows and absives surface materials.

    1. Danxia landform.

    Danxia landform refers to a landform with steep cliff slopes developed by red beds (not limited to the age of red beds) dominated by continental facies (which may include non-continental interlayers). This definition is accepted by most scholars and can also be expressed as "red-bed landforms characterized by steep cliff slopes".

    2. Yadan landform

    Yadan landform is a special landform in Lop Nur area of Xinjiang, which is a typical wind-erosive landform. The professional term "Yadan" has a history of more than 100 years since Sven Hed in was formally proposed in 1903 and gradually accepted and studied by geoscientists.

    3. Karst landform

    Karst landform is a landform formed by the dissolution and precipitation, erosion and sedimentation of soluble rocks by groundwater and surface water, as well as gravity collapse, collapse and accumulation.

    4. Denudation landform

    It is a landform shaped by denudation, which is the phenomenon of stripping weathering products away from the places where they are generated.

    5. Zhangye Danxia landform

    Zhangye City, located in the middle of the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, was one of the four counties of Hexi in ancient times, Zhangye County, taking the meaning of "breaking the arm of the Huns, Zhang China's Ye (armpit)".

    Zhangye Danxia landform is in the mountainous and hilly area with a radius of 50 square kilometers, and there are peculiar, colorful and majestic Danxia landforms. Danxia refers to the isolated peaks and steep strange rocks formed by long-term weathering and erosion of red conglomerate by flowing water, and the Danxia landform here was developed from the Pre-Jurassic to the Tertiary period about 200 million years ago.

    1. Elf chimney.

    Elf chimney, located in Cappadocia, Turkey. Volcanic ash covered the area millions of years ago, and rain and wind carried away the dust from it, leaving basalt behind.

    2. Halong Bay.

    Ha Long Bay, located in Vietnam. Here are scattered limestone columns, caves, etc. The rocks have been eroded by the tides for 5 million years. There are more than 1,600 islands in the bay, most of which are uninhabited.

    3. The Eye of the Sahara.

    The Eye of the Sahara, located in Mauritania, is known as the Richard structure. It is a circular rock formation, about 50 kilometers wide, which creates a topography for the elevation of the terrain and the bedding.

    4. The Great Blue Hole.

    The Great Blue Grotto, located in Belize. This underwater cave is 320 meters wide and 125 meters deep, and is popular with divers. It is part of the Belize Barrier Reef and belongs to the Great Barrier Reef System in Central America.

    The cave is thought to have formed during the recent Ice Age, when limestone structures collapsed due to sea level changes, and stalactites and stalagmites that recorded past climate change were found in the cave.

    5. Moraki cobblestone.

    The Molaki Pebblestone, located in New Zealand. These spherical pebbles, which resemble giant turtle shells, are scattered across New Zealand's Koukouki Beach. These pebbles are made up of sediments that are more than 6 million years old. The carbonate encloses the inner core, similar to the composition of a pearl.

    6. Zhangye Danxia National Geopark.

    Zhangye Danxia National Geopark. These rainbow mountains look like oil paintings. The Danxia landform in Gansu Province is made up of red sandstone deposited by Bai Wannian and looks like a layered cake. 7. Stone forest.

    Stone Forest, located in Guangxi, China. Knife-edged clusters of limestone, most of which are more than 10 meters long, resemble a forest made of stone. The Stone Forest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    2.7 million years ago, it was a temporary shallow sea, where sandstone and limestone were deposited in the basin, and then the geological changes and the basin was pushed out of the water, and the water and wind eroded the rocks into their current state.

    8. Moon Valley.

    Valley of the Moon, located in Argentina. The Talam Mupaya Natural Park is located in the desert of central Argentina, where lakes and swamps contain a large number of plant fossils, some of which have become coal seams, while others have preserved their original shapes, veins and textures, which are rare in other regions. The most common of the sediments is the volcanic ash layer, and the Ischi Guarasto land is dry and has a rugged surface, known as the "Valley of the Moon".

    9. Chocolate Hills.

    Chocolate Hills, Philippines. There are more than 1,500 of these limestone mounds in Bohol province, which are usually covered with grass but turn brown during dry seasons.

    Mysterious "Stone Waves" on the border of Utah and Arizona, USA: The mysterious "Stone Waves" on the border of Utah and Arizona evolved from sand dunes hundreds of millions of years ago. In the crevices of less than 200 square meters in the mountains, the blood-red sandstone is like the waves churning, and the wonderful combination of rigidity and softness is breathtaking.

    Touching the delicate wave traces along the sandstone lines, it seems that you can still feel the elaborate design and carving of the sandstorm hundreds of millions of years ago.

    The most peculiar form I've ever seen is Ireland's Giant's Causeway, which is by the sea and looks like giant stone steps, like steps, the product of an ancient volcanic eruption. These basalt columns look like squares, but in fact most of them are hexagonal, interspersed with quadrangular and pentagonal shapes. It is memorable, like a ghostly workmanship.

    Loess landforms: China is the earliest country in the world to study loess landforms. More than 2,000 years ago, there was a record of "rain in the loess, haze in the day and night" involving the accumulation process of the loess landform.

    Karst landform: China's karst landform has a wide distribution area, such as Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. The main characteristics of karst landform are reflected in karst caves, sinkholes and other geographical phenomena.

    Coastal landform: The world's coastline is about 440,000 kilometers long, with China's coastline being more than 18,000 kilometers long and the island coastline being more than 14,000 kilometers. The long coastal zone is rich in minerals, biological, energy, land and other natural resources.

    River landform: A general term for various erosion and accumulation forms formed by rivers acting on the earth's surface. It includes river erosion landforms such as valleys and erosion plains, and river accumulation landforms such as alluvial plains and deltas.

    It is of great significance to study the landform of rivers, grasp the evolution process of rivers, and improve the trend of rivers for water conservancy, transportation, industrial and agricultural production, and urban construction.

    Tectonic landform: tectonic landform is directly created by the action of the earth's internal forces and controlled by geological bodies and geological structures.

    The Giant's Causeway is located along the coast of Ireland's Causeway, and the first mention of this peculiar feature in historical documents was in 1693. Standing on top of the Giant's Causeway and looking at the strange hexagonal basalt pillars that appear in front of you, visitors feel as if they have come to another planet. The basalt columns are similar to ancient paving materials and were originally part of a lava plateau between 50 million and 60 million years ago.

    The Valley is nearly 100 million years old and is made up of Jurassic-era Navajo sandstones. Sandstone is formed by calcification of sand dunes in vertical and horizontal layers.

    Stone Wave Valley is a sandstone formation located in Arizona, United States. Because it doesn't look incredibly unrealistic, Shitao Valley** uploaded to the Internet is often labeled as a PS work. It seems that someone has deliberately carved out the strange undulating structure of Shitao Valley, and from the outside, it looks like a natural skate park.

    The Valley is nearly 100 million years old and is made up of Jurassic-era Navajo sandstones. Sandstone is formed by calcification of sand dunes in vertical and horizontal layers.

    The Checkerboard Road is located in Eagle Neck Bay on Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula. In the midst of it, it is really hard for us to believe that the chessboard road composed of rectangles is not an artificial product, but the facts make us have to be convinced. Checkerboard is a natural phenomenon that is a rare erosion landform formed when the crust is pressurized by hydrogenetic fractures.

    As the hydrogenic rocks dehydrate and dry up at low tide, salt crystals form on the surface. Under the influence of salt crystals, seams appeared in the ground, which is what we see as a rectangle.
