Example of mountain ranges on earth are:
The Rocky Mountains
The Himalayas
The Andes

2.Mojave Desert
3.The Gobe Desert

the biggest canyon in the world is yarlung tsangpo grand canyon it is 5,500 m (18,000 feet) it is slightly larger the the grand canyon in the United States. there is also Antelope Canyon which is about 120 ft down.

Valleys are formed by flowing water or river valley which is usually in the shape of a V. The exact shape will depend on the characteristics of the stream flowing through it.

2. Spencer Valley
3. Moselle Valley]]> 2017-11-28 15:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/emcdowell/kqx44hnk6hwe/wish/210971304 Avi avi_vohra https://padlet.com/emcdowell/kqx44hnk6hwe/wish/210971449 Valleys
Most valleys are formed by rivers that erode over time.The process will take about one thousands and millions of years.
Examples of valleys on Earth are :
Death Valley
Sonoma Valley
Barun Valley

Volcanoes are made when magma from the Earths topmost thin layer  comes up to the surface.
Examples of volcanoes: 
Mauna Loa
West Maui

Sometimes Hills are formed by build-ups of sand or rock debris, or can be caused by faults.
Ex:
  • Table Rock (Ada County, Idaho)
  • Knob Hill, (Colorado)
  • HackBerry Hill, (Colorado)
  • Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu (New Zealand)

mountains were formed by movements of tectonic plates hitting against each other.

mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism . movements of tectonic plates create volcano's along the plates boundaries, witch erupt and form mountains.

The biggest river in the world is the amazon river it is 4,345 miles long. It was created by the collision of the south american plate and the Nazca plate over 11 million years ago.The amazon river starts in Peru and ends in the Atlantic ocean .The  three biggest rivers in the world are:

Islands are made by volcanoes under water the make lava go to the surface the the volcanoes top forms a island.

Some rivers start from hills or mountains where snow melt or rain forms small channels. When more water enters the channel,it becomes a larger channel.It eventually as it becomes larger and larger,it forms a river
some examples are:
Delaware River
Hudson River
Amazon River

valleys are a hollow surface deprestion of the earth bounded by hills and mountains a natural tough in the earths surface that slopes down to a stream lake or the ocean formed by water or ice erostion like

Rivers are formed by rain or snow seeping into the ground then bubbles back to the surface. As the water flows downhill, the trickle swells into a stream and then, side streams called tributaries join it, into a river.
Some examples are:

1. Amazon River
2. Colorado River
3. Mississippi River

Is a long narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs created by glacial erosion.It is formed when a glacier retreats ,after carving its typical U shaped valley,and the sea fills the resulting valley floor.

Some lakes were formed by glaciers that covered large areas of land. In Florida lakes are formed by naturally acidic rain that dissolves the underlying limestone bedrock. These are called seepage lakes. They are also formed by shifts in earths crust, craters of some extinct volcanoes, and land slides.
1. Lake Huron
2. Lake Erie
3. Lake Superior

Peninsulas are made from the falling and rising of the water level, just like the shaking of a cup with water in it.  
Examples of peninsulas are :

Caves are formed from the dissolution of limestone rain holds carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through soil, which turns into a weak acid. This very slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.]]> 2017-11-28 16:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/emcdowell/kqx44hnk6hwe/wish/210978647 grace_boyd1 https://padlet.com/emcdowell/kqx44hnk6hwe/wish/210978865 2017-11-28 16:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/emcdowell/kqx44hnk6hwe/wish/210978865 nicole_diaconu1 https://padlet.com/emcdowell/kqx44hnk6hwe/wish/210990716 2017-11-28 16:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/emcdowell/kqx44hnk6hwe/wish/210990716 nicole_diaconu1 https://padlet.com/emcdowell/kqx44hnk6hwe/wish/210991017 2017-11-28 16:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emcdowell/kqx44hnk6hwe/wish/210991017
