	Landform
		Landforms are categorised by characteristics such as elevation, slope, orientation, stratification, rock exposure, and soil type.
		Elementary landforms (segments, facets, relief units) are the smallest homogeneous divisions of the land surface, at the given scale/resolution.
		Hence, the spatial distribution of landforms is often fuzzy and scale-dependent as is the case for soils and geological strata.

		They may also be influenced by biological factors, for example the role of plants in the development of dune systems and salt marshes and corals and algae in the formation of coral reefs.
		Eolian Landform - landforms produced by wind weathering.

	Glaciers and Glacial Landforms
		Landform created whereby the up-glacier side is smoothed by abrasion and the leeward side is rough and irregular from plucking.
		A pass or saddle produced when two adjacent cirque glaciers on opposite sides of a divide are cut back enough to remove part of the arete between them.
		Process whereby rock particles beneath the ice are grasped by the freezing of meltwater in joins and fractures and is pried out and dragged along the bottom of the ice.
