A landform is a single and typical unit that forms part of the general topography of the Earth’s surface. The idea of a landform is not conceptual, in that their is only one of this kind of tree, or that kind of plant, rather, a landform is dealing with the one of the many. An example of a landform would be simply a single spruce tree, or a solitary hill. Conversely, a landscape is a collection of landforms, often the same types of landforms. An example of this would be a forest, the forest landscape is the sum of the forest landforms, in this case the landscape may be a sum of landforms that are spruce trees. In this picture an example of a landform would be the tree closest to me, an example of a landscape is the collection of trees that surround me.
