“地貌”常见的英文表达是 “landform” ,它指的是地球表面的各种形态,如山脉、平原、丘陵、盆地等。
例句:
This region is characterized by diverse landforms, including mountains, valleys, and plateaus.(这个地区地貌多样,有山脉、山谷和高原。)
The study of landforms helps us understand the natural processes that have shaped the Earth's surface.(对地貌的研究有助于我们理解塑造地球表面的自然过程。 )
此外,“geomorphology” 侧重于指“地貌学”(研究地球表面形态特征、成因、分布和演变规律的学科) ,不过其词根“-morph”也与形态相关,有时在特定语境中“geomorphologic features”也可用来表达“地貌特征” 。
