    This document is a geography worksheet for 9th standard students covering topics about Earth's structure and landforms. It contains multiple choice and descriptive questions about the layers of the Earth (crust, mantle, core), their composition and characteristics. Questions also assess understanding of landform formation processes like folding, faulting, weathering and different landform types such as mountains, plateaus and plains. Definitions of key terms related to rocks, earthquakes and density are also tested. The worksheet aims to evaluate students' comprehension of concepts about the internal structure of the Earth and the surface landforms shaped by geological and environmental forces.
