Choose an option
  • A
    Structural landforms
  • B
    Weathering landforms
  • C
    Erosional landforms
  • D
    Depositional landforms

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.

Final AnswerStructural landforms
