Table 1:

Landform Altitude Valley depth Tilt/Slopes Mineralogy and rocks
Mountain - over 800 m - deep valleys between 400-500 m - strong tilt surfaces prevail (slopes) - made of strong rocks (metamorphic, magmatic, pleated sedimentary)
Hill - 300-800 m - deep valleys over 100 m - strong tilt surfaces prevail (slopes) to the plate areas (interfluves) - made of soft rocks (un-pleated sedimentary: sand, gravel, clay)
Plateau - over 300 m - deep valleys over 100 m - large interfluves prevail - made of soft rocks (un-pleated sedimentary: sand, gravel, clay), as well as string rocks (metamorphic, magmatic, pleated sedimentary)
Field - under 300 m - deep valleys under 100 m - the plate areas prevail (interfluves) - made of soft rocks un-pleated sedimentary, sand)
