geological features

Geological features are natural formations created by various processes within the Earth's crust. They include mountains, valleys, plains, hills, and plateaus, formed by tectonic forces, erosion, and sedimentation. For example, mountains arise from the collision of tectonic plates, while valleys can be shaped by rivers carving through rock over time. Other features like caves are formed by water eroding limestone. Understanding these formations helps us learn about the Earth's history, climate changes, and the natural resources available, which are important for ecosystems and human development.
