What are the 4 types of landscapes?
We can categorise these features into various landscapes such as coastal, mountain, desert and riverine by identifying landforms that are found in each. For example, a beach is a landform that is characteristic to a coastal landscape, and a valley is a characteristic landform found in a riverine landscape. Mountains, hills, plateaus and plains are the four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys and basins. Tectonic plate movement under Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills.
What is the best landscape to avoid weeds?
You have two good choices for the best weed barrier—organic mulch or high-quality landscape fabric. Don’t use black plastic. It doesn’t allow rain to reach plant roots, and it traps water vapor, which facilitates the growth of mold and mildew. A weed membrane, also known as a landscape fabric or weed control fabric, is a sheet made from woven or non-woven material that is used to suppress the growth of weeds. Its purpose is to prevent unwanted weed growth while allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the soil.
What are the 5 basic elements of landscape design?

Unlike a painting, a landscape is experienced as a person moves through various spaces. There are five primary elements of design, including mass, form, line, texture and color. When describing a landscape you should consider three layers of information: physical base layer (where rock type/geology and landscape processes have sculpted a physical landscape. Biological layer- including the soil, plants and trees. Human layer – including settlements, communications and farming.
