A plateau also called a high plain or a tableland, is an area of a highland consisting of flat terrain, that is raised sharply above the surrounding area on at least one side. Often one or more sides have deep hills. Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers. Plateaus are classified according to their surrounding environment as intermontane, piedmont, or continental. A few plateaus may have a small flat top while others have wide ones.

A desert is a dry place that receives little or almost no rainfall. The temperature of the desert can be hot or cold. A lot of times the rocks in the deserts are unusually shaped by the high speed winds that carries sand along with it. Over a period of time wind wears away the rocks into strange shapes. Plants and animals in the desert cope up with the extreme dry conditions in their own unique ways. Plants store water in their leaves, roots and stems. Also most of them have small, spiky leaves so as to minimize the evaporation of water. That explains the pointy spikes of a cacti.

A hill is a landform that is higher than the surrounding terrain and that is smaller than a mountain. Hill is a highland of much lower elevation than a mountain. Normally it is not as steep as a mountain. The surface of a hill is much more stable than that of a dune. See attachment below for images of hills.

A mountain is a landform that rises high above its surroundings. Taller than a hill, it usually has steep slopes and a rounded or sharp peak. Mountains are rarely found alone. Groups of mountains are called ranges. Lines of ranges form mountain belts.

Some mountains were formed by the activity of volcanoes. Scientists believe that most volcanic mountains are made up of rock that melted deep within Earth. The rock rose through Earth's surface, or crust. It then flowed onto the surface in the form of lava. The lava, along with volcanic dust, built up to form mountains. Volcanic mountains are typically steep and cone shaped. Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and Mount Rainier in the United States are examples of volcanic mountains.

Other mountains were formed by movements within Earth's surface, or crust. The theory called plate tectonics explains this type of mountain building. Earth's surface is divided into huge pieces called plates, which move very slowly. The continents sit on top of the plates and move with them. At times the plates collide, forcing the rock upward. The Himalayas of Asia are an example of this type of mountain chain. They were formed when a plate carrying India collided with the Asian plate.

A plain is a type of landform made up of a flat area that can exist in valleys, lowlands, on plateaus, or uplands. They are formed by a variety of weather and geological phenomena including water deposits, ice, wind, erosion, and even lava. Plains make excellent agricultural ground in many places because of their rich soil and their relatively flat landscape. The plains usually meet the oceans or seas, these are called Coastal plains. Some plains are formed by the action of rivers, these are called River plains. River plains are very fertile and good for growing crops. You will find most big cities are located in plains. This is because it is easier to build houses, buildings, roads and other structures in the plains. Hence they are heavily populated.

Caves are dark and hollow. They can form underground, on hillsides, or in the walls of cliffs. Some caves were carved out by water. Others were formed by lava that cooled and hardened. They are built up from the minerals in dripping water. A person who explores and studies caves is called a spelunker.
