Changes in bedrock structure and elevation indicate the boundaries between landscape regions.

1

A landscape region with slopes that have low elevations indicate the dominance of leveling forces over uplifting forces.

3

The Adirondacks have distorted rock structure and are thus mountains, but the Catskills don’t have distorted rock structure.

Elevation will remain about the same.
