Landscapes and Landforms

Landforms are the single and typical unit that forms part of the general topography of the earth’s surface, and aggregation of landforms are called landscapes. Primary landforms are from tectonic forces, while secondary landforms are from sculpting force of erosion. The landscape in Abraham Lake is filled with primary landforms of Rocky Mountains, as well as the secondary landforms of the Abraham Lake (even though it is partially man-made).
