    The document discusses various landforms and how they are formed through natural processes like erosion, deposition, and tectonic activity. Beaches and canyons are formed by water erosion from oceans and rivers, while deserts, mesas, and plateaus result from wind erosion and deposition. Mountains are formed by earthquakes and uplifting of the Earth's crust, and new land emerges through deposition of sediment by rivers and floodwaters.
