Which term is defined as a specific physical feature on the earth's surface such as mountains, plains and valleys?

• A. Land
• B. Landforms
• C. Labor
• D. Inquiry

Answer: (B)

The main idea is naming natural physical features that appear on Earth’s surface. Mountains, plains, and valleys are examples of these features, which together form the landscape. The term that best fits is landforms, because it groups the natural shapes that make up the terrain. Land refers more to the ground as a whole or to property, labor means human work, and inquiry means asking questions or investigating—none of these describe the specific natural features of the surface. In geography, recognizing landforms helps explain the variety of landscapes and how processes like plate tectonics, weathering, and erosion shape the Earth over time.
