What connections exist between areas of the earth’s crust and landforms?

The relief of the area directly depends on the characteristics of the earth’s crust. So, if the site falls on the fault zone of a tectonic plate or on the place of collision of several lithospheric plates, then the relief on this territory cannot be even, and there will be mountains, volcanoes or deep gorges. When any area is located far from tectonically active zones, then the terrain there is much smoother, as under the influence of external factors such as water, air, temperature, etc. rocks decompose and the relief is leveled.
