EXTERNAL FORCES > INTERNAL EARTH’S SURFACE FLAT LANDSCAPE WITH LITTLE VARIATION IN RELIEF: FEW HILS AND SHALLOW VALLEYS
EXTERNAL EXCEED INTERNAL! Nullarbor Plain, Australia Jos Plateau, Nigeria Saskatchewan, Canada Florida! Steppes, Asia North European Plain
INTERNAL FORCES > EXTERNAL HIGHLY VARIED LANDSCAPE WITH HIGH VARIATION IN RELIEF: MOUNTAINS, DEEP VALLEYS. EARTH’S SURFACE
INTERNAL EXCEED EXTERNAL! Mount Rainier, WA. Snowy River, Australia. Lake Tanganyika, Africa Jos Plateau, Nigeria Port au Prince, Haiti North Marianas, Pacific Mt. Vesuvius, Italy
