We can categorise these features into various landscapes such as coastal, mountain, desert and riverine by identifying landforms that are found in each. For example, a beach is a landform that is characteristic to a coastal landscape, and a valley is a characteristic landform found in a riverine landscape.

Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains are the four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys, and basins. Tectonic plate movement under Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills.

The 3-system landscape consists of a development system, test system, and production system. Development and testing activities are separated into two dedicated systems. This separation makes it possible to have advanced development projects in the 3-system landscape, enabling developer extensibility options.

Different forces shape a landscape: including geological, ecological, and human influences. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective management and restoration efforts.
