    Landform: Specific geomorphic feature on the surface of the earth, ranging from large-scale features such as plains, plateaus, and mountains to minor features such as hills, valleys, and alluvial fans. Outcrop: An outcrop is a visible exposure of bedrock or ancient superficial deposits on the surface of the Earth. Topography: Topography is the study of the land surface. In particular, it lays the underlying foundation of a landscape. For example, topography refers to mountains, valleys, rivers or craters on the surface. Topography is very similar to landform.
