We are fading to make great opportunity of earning money from the travelling and tourism across the globe. It is mostly due to lake of knowledge in the landforms for Travel Company Owner in the world. It is also due to educated people who work for travel companies. They are less aware from the landforms in the world. They are less interested in Earth’s History.

Yes, it is true that Earth’s surface is not flat. You must have seen Earth on a map. It is often seen a kind of landform some of them are shown below.
River
Plains
Plateau
Valleys
Mountains (See Table I for more detail)
Your land or let's say our land holds rivers, plains, plateaus, valleys and mountains and all of them are not man-made they are nature built by following forces
Internal Earth’s forces
External Earth’s Forces
In plains there are no slopes while in plateaus there are many slopes with many shapes of slopes. How their slopes are formed to shape-up a plateaus and plain land where is no slope. It is all by nature and natural laws and principles where Internal Earth’s Forces and External Earth’s Forces play a pivotal role to transform by nature into plains and plateaus.
In the same way, Earth’s forces play key role to shape and Form Rivers, Valleys and Mountains. The most important aspect is to understand end result of two forces working simultaneously and continuously both inside and outside on its surface. The internal forces are also named as endogenetic forces. It is true to understand that the Earth has experienced the innumerable earth movements which have brought about vast changes in its surface. The movements inside the earth are initiated by endogenetic forces those results in causing movements in its crust. There movements are called to be earth movements or tectonic movements. The Earth’s Internal Forces participate to make landforms as explain in the Table I.
In more detail, Table I shows the exogenic landforms and endogenic landforms. There are many forces besides Earth’s Internal Structure that play a key role in the formation of lands. It is near-term climate change, short-term climate change, medium-term climate change and long-term climate change.
Table I: Landforms in more details | Exogenic Landforms | Endogenic Landforms |
Micro-scale landforms · Area: <0.25 km2 · Lifespan 100 years | Fluvial Pools and riffles, Meander, Large river flood plains, Major drainage basins Glacial Small cirques , Valley glaciers, Ice caps, Ice sheets Aeolian Ripples, Dunes , Sand seas, Large sand seas Coastal Beach cusps, Deltas, Capes and bays, Continental coastlines | Small fault scraps Small volcanoes Block-faulted terrain Major mountain ranges |
Meso-scale landforms · Area: 0.25-100 km2 · Lifespan: 1,000 years | ||
Macro-scale landforms · Area: 100-1,000,000 km2 · Life span: 10 million years | ||
Mega-scale landforms · Area: > 1,000,000 km2 · Lifespan: 10 million years |
Table I explains the landforms in more details. It is true that we’re familiar with minute number of landforms here on Earth. Due to which, we’re not able to generate enough revenue in the travel industry.
Classification of Earth movements
1. Slow movements
2. Sudden movements
3. Perpendicular movements
a. The perpendicular movements are further divided into two sub-types as follows
i. Vertical movements
ii. Horizontal movements
The movements inside the earth play an important role for what we seen on our land. How landforms take place? It is also linked with the Earth’s movements.
About the Blog: The information and news written in the blog article is taken from the books mentioned in the reference and bibliography. In order to make our travel and tourist industry more profitable it is very important to hire talented people for your travel company who understand landforms, earth history, and morphology of the earth including geology and lithology. We’re making no profit in travel industry as the employee working in the travel sector are little aware about landforms of earth.
