Introduction
There are many different landforms in Trinidad and Tobago. They are shaped by forces deep within the planet and by conditions on the earth’s surface. In this WebQuest, students will learn about some natural landforms in Trinidad and Tobago. They will be given the opportunity to learn how to appreciate their natural environment.
Landforms are natural features of the Earth's Surface.
Landforms are features that make up the Earth's surface. There are many kinds of landforms. They can be locations, such as islands; terrain, such as mountains or valleys; or those having specific qualities caused by climate, such as deserts, swamps, and glaciers.
Some landforms are created by the action of wind, water, and ice. This action physically changes the Earth's surface by carving and eroding land surfaces, carrying and depositing soil, sand and other debris.
Examples : a sand dune formed by wind, a river delta created by water, a plain formed by ancient lava flows.
