Answer
Correct Answer: Structural landforms
Explanation
Given data
- Landforms formed by crustal deformation from plate tectonics are sought.
Concept/ApproachStructural 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.
