alas
[edit]Regarding the "List of Landforms," the top one, 'alas' is something that I can't find any record of other than on what seem to be mirrors of this page. Does anyone have any info on whether or not those are real landforms, and what they are, or if that is a typo.
The "alas" does appear to be a real name for a permafrost landform. See http://nsidc.org/fgdc/glossary/english.pdf for definition (page 4 of the document; it lists alass as an alternate spelling) and http://www.hyarc.nagoya-u.ac.jp/game/6thconf/html/abs_html/T1/T1HY30Jul04115511.html for an example of its usage in a scientific paper.
Permafrost-related landforms are usually classified as Periglacial Landforms. I think it would be best to create a subcategory for periglacial landforms, to include alas, pingo, and patterned ground. (Those are the only permafrost landform words I know.)
Is there aiul8ul;u;lu;ulyh way to link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_landforms to this page?
Geography
[edit]landform is a natural or anthropogenic[1][2] land feature on the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body. Landforms together make up a given terrain, and their arrangement in the landscape is known as topography. Landforms include hills, mountains, canyons, and valleys, as well as shoreline features such as bays, peninsulas, and seas,[citation needed] including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges, volcanoes, and the great ocean basins. 2405:204:A1A9:F918:0:0:DDE:10A0 (talk) 12:41, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

"Natural formation" cf. pareidolia
[edit]Currently "natural formation" redirects here. That term sometimes is used to refer specifically to a landform that resembles something or otherwise invites a fanciful descriptor (such as Mitten Buttes). There is List of rock formations, but that list is not restricted to what I'm trying to describe. There's also the word mimetolith, but that seems too esoteric. Is there a better search term that I'm missing, or has this phenomenon just not been categorized? Richard K. Carson (talk) 00:49, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Create a dairy of World Landforms. Here you have to include the following points : -- Name and Picture -- Geographical Location --- Landforms Name --- Landforms features --- Interesting facts about that Landforms.
