The Geomorphology of the British Isles

The geomorphology of the British Isles refers to the landforms and natural features shaped mainly by glaciers, rivers, and tectonic activity over millions of years. The landscape includes rugged hills and mountains like the Scottish Highlands, flat plains such as East Anglia, and extensive coastlines with cliffs and bays. Glaciation during the last Ice Age carved valleys and created features like fjords, while rivers have shaped lowlands and valleys. Tectonic activity has influenced mountain formation. Overall, the Isles showcase a diverse range of landforms driven by climate, geological processes, and erosion.
