Geomorphology (tectonics): Landforms produced mainly by large-scale Earth movements due to plate tectonics are called what? Focus on structures created by uplift, warping, folding, and faulting. Choose the correct landform category.

Difficulty: Easy

Structural landforms
Weathering landforms
Erosional landforms
Depositional landforms

Correct Answer: Structural landforms

Explanation:

Given data

Landforms formed by crustal deformation from plate tectonics are sought.

Concept/Approach
Structural landforms originate from tectonic processes (fold mountains, rift valleys, fault scarps). Weathering, erosion, and deposition modify landscapes, but the primary origin from tectonics defines them as structural.

Final Answer
Structural landforms
