Water carves a deep canyon and grinds out a valley, while a slow moving glacier reshapes whole mountainsides and leaves a flooded fjord behind. Wind piles sand into a dune. Flat topped rock stands as a mesa or a smaller butte, and between them stretch the plain, the basin, and the long line of a ridge. A narrow isthmus joins two larger bodies of land.
