    Landforms are natural features of Earth's surface that have characteristic shapes. Some key landforms include volcanoes, which are mountains with craters that erupt lava and gases; mountains, which are elevated portions of the Earth's crust with sloping sides and peaks; canyons, which are deep gorges often containing rivers; plains, which are large flat areas with few trees; valleys, which are low areas between mountains often containing rivers; hills, which are raised areas of land smaller than mountains; plateaus, which are areas of relatively level high ground; and islands, which are pieces of land surrounded by water.
