Solution

The landforms around my school or home include open fields, small raised areas, and a nearby stream. These features seem to have been mainly formed by the action of running water. Over time, the stream has eroded soil in some areas and deposited sediments in others, resulting in low-lying and slightly elevated land. The flat agricultural fields in the area may have developed due to the deposition of fertile soil carried by rivers over many years. In certain dry and sandy places, wind may also have contributed by carrying and depositing fine soil particles. Therefore, running water appears to be the main factor shaping the landforms in my locality, while wind has played a smaller role in some areas.
