Buttes

Ridge

Canyon

Basin

- Option 1: Buttes

- Buttes are isolated hills with steep, often vertical sides and a small, flat top.

- They are formed through erosion processes, but they're not valleys.

- Option 2: Ridge

- A ridge is a long, narrow elevation of land.

- It typically forms between valleys but does not describe a valley itself.

-Option 3: Canyon

- ?? Canyons are deep, narrow valleys with steep sides.

- They are carved by the processes of weathering and erosion, mainly by rivers, over long periods.

- Option 4: Basin

- A basin is a low-lying area, often surrounded by higher land.

- It typically collects water, forming rivers or lakes, rather than being a narrow valley.
