Landscape - GCSE Geography Definition

In GCSE Geography, the term 'landscape' refers to the visible features of an area of land, including its physical elements like mountains, hills, rivers, and valleys, as well as human elements such as buildings, roads, and other structures. Landscapes are shaped by a combination of natural processes, like erosion and weathering, and human activities, such as farming and urban development. Each landscape is unique and can be understood by studying how these natural and human factors interact. Landscapes can also be influenced by the climate and weather, giving them distinct characteristics depending on where they are located.
