6. Landform Classification1

The genetic landform classification system groups landforms by the dominant set of geomorphic processes responsible for their formation. This includes the following processes and associated landforms:

1. Tectonic Landforms

2. Extrusive Igneous Landforms

3. Intrusive Igneous Landforms

4. Fluvial Landforms

5. Karst Landforms

6. Aeolian Landforms

7. Coastal Landforms

8. Ocean Floor Topography

9. Glacial Landforms

Within each of these, the resulting landforms are a product of either constructive and destructive processes or a combination of both. Landforms are also influenced by other agents or processes including time, climate, and human activity.
