Relationships      
Parents land form A LandForm is the class of geographically and/or geologically distinct areas that occur on Earth's surface, including mountains, hills, plains, valleys, deltas, and features of submerged land areas such as the ocean floor.
  upland area An UplandArea is a LandArea elevated above the surrounding terrain.
Children duneA dune is a landform composed of Wind - or Water -driven Sand. It typically takes the form of a mound, ridge, or Hill. Dunes are most common in Desert environments, where the lack of moisture hinders the growth of vegetation that would otherwise interfere with the development of dunes. However, sand deposits are not restricted to deserts, and dunes are also found along sea ShoreAreas, along SteamWaterAreas in semiarid climates, in areas of glacial outwash, and in other areas where poorly cemented sandstone bedrock disintegrates to produce an ample supply of loose sand. Dunes are generally defined as greater than 7 cm tall [from Wikipedia].
 volcanic coneA VolcanicCone is a hill of lava or pyroclastics surrounding a volcanic vent. Not as high as a VolcanicMountain.
