Landforms

The world map from USGS gives an idea of the variety of landforms.

A high resolution shaded relief map of U.S. landforms is available from the USGS.

This segment of the above image shows the resolution available and shows the Pacific Northwest area of the U.S. where there is a convergent boundary just offshore.

The segment including California with its valley and San Andreas Fault region illustrates the transform fault boundary associated with that fault.
