Landform Comparison¶
An interactive visualization that helps students compare and contrast the five major landform types.
About This MicroSim¶
Learn to identify and compare major landforms:
- Mountains - High elevation, steep slopes, peaks
- Hills - Lower than mountains, gentle slopes
- Plateaus - Flat tops at high elevation
- Valleys - Low areas between mountains or hills
- Plains - Large flat areas at low elevation
Learning Objectives¶
After using this simulation, students will be able to:
- Identify each landform type by its characteristics
- Compare elevation and slope differences
- Understand how landforms affect human settlement
