A landform comprises a geomorphological unit, and is largely defined by its surface form and location in the landscape, as part of the terrain, and as such, is typically an element of topography.
Landform elements are parts of a high-order landform that can be further identified, such as hill-top, shoulder, backslope.
Elementary landforms (segments, facets, relief units) are the smallest homogeneous divisions of the land surface, at the given scale/resolution.

 Landform   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Landforms are categorised by characteristics such as elevation, slope, orientation, stratification, rock exposure, and soil type.
The generic landform elements are: pits, peaks, channels, ridges, passes, pools, planes etc, and can be often extracted from a digital elevation model using some automated or semi-automated techniques.
Hence, the spatial distribution of landforms is often fuzzy and scale-dependent as is the case for soils and geological strata.

  Landforms and Associated Surficial Materials of Yellowstone National Park
Within applied geomorphology, a landform is defined as "any physical, recognizable form or feature of the Earths surface having a characteristic shape, and produced by natural causes; it includes major forms such as a plain, plateau, or mountain, and minor forms such as a hill, valley, slope, esker, or dune.
Most landforms are differentiated on maximum or minimum relief, but a few may not have any relief, and some have minimum relief because of mapping limitations (e.g., 120 ft (37 m) for stream breaks or breaklands).
Landforms in this subgroup are differentiated by presence of outwash channels, loess-covered or lobate ridges, talus slopes, bedrock exposure, or degree of stream dissection.
