The major landforms are mountains, plateaus, and plains.
1. Mountains. They are natural elevation of the earth's surface they are higher than the surrounding area. Some mountains are very high. They are even higher than the clouds. Some mountains have permanently frozen rivers of ice known as glaciers. Mountains are generally thinly populated regions because the climate is harsh there. Farming is also not easily possible there. But mountains provide us water. They have a rich variety of flora and fauna.
2. Plateaus. They are usually flat-topped tableland and higher than the surrounding area. Plateaus may be young or old. The Deccan plateau in India is one of the oldest plateaus. Plateaus are very useful for mankind. They have rich deposits of minerals such as diamonds, gold, iron, manganese, etc. Several waterfalls can be found in the plateau regions.
3. Plains. They are vast stretches of flat land. They are formed mostly by rivers and their tributaries. Plains are usually fertile lands. Hence, a thick population is found there. Construction of transport network is easy.
