| Summary |
Many landforms make up Earth's surface, including mountains, glaciers, deserts, and even coral reefs. Some scientists specialize in geomorphology, which is the study of landforms. Others who study the land can become mapmakers or geologists. Earth is constantly changing, which means there is always something new to learn. |
