A landscape encompasses an area's visible features, including landforms, natural and man-made elements, land cover, and transient factors such as weather conditions. It reflects the synthesis of people and place essential to local and national identity. Landscapes can range from farmlands to wilderness and encompass diverse terrains like polar icy landscapes, mountainous regions, arid deserts, islands, coastal areas, and forested lands. Landscaping refers to modifying a land's visible features for aesthetic appeal, though not all landscaped areas may be considered true landscapes. Geomorphology studies the origin and evolution of topographic features through geological processes like tectonic uplift and subsidence. Surface processes such as water, wind, ice, fire, and living organisms sculpt landscapes, while human alteration and climate significantly impact landscape development. Landscape ecology focuses on studying and improving relationships between ecological processes and ecosystems at various spatial scales and organizational levels.
