How does land form?
everyone knows what a tectonic plate is and why they cause earthquakes but that's not all they can also push up mountains or other things to create mountains and even push upland that is how the southern alps were created when the alpine fault went off the mountains or big rocks rose from out of the ground destroying precious land before it but that's not all the ways it can happen land can happen from other things two. Sometimes there may be just mountains but wind and water after a long time flatten the land making plains and smooth parts of land. But that's still not all to form a canyon a river has to go through a mountain this can take thousands to millions of years to happen some are even prehistoric but still not all. Some land from under the sea and it's not always flat underwater mountains and trenches can form underwater to weird right. Another quick fact about the plates.volcanoes can also make land by erupting and changing terrain
And if you're wondering how a beach formed its because when water crushes rocks into sand it gets washed onto land and forms a beach.Plates can also rise up continents or countries and they can sink land to and wreck it as well as making it the also split land making it spread to other spots to .and last some parts of land and mountains look of that is because a volcano has erupted causing hot lava to run down hills forming odd shapes odd looking rocks are just pushed out of the ground
