The landforms in the interior of the continents and at their margins mostly differ because of the difference in geological activity.

Explanation:

The landforms that are found in the interior of the continents tend to be old. They also are mostly consisted of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. In general the erosion is much more evident and dominant, thus the landforms also are with lower elevations when compared with the ones on the edges. This is due to the lack of geological activity as the interiors of the continents tend to be far away from the plate boundaries.

The landforms on the edges of the continents tend to be younger in general. The reason for that are the subduction zones and intense geological activity. The intense geological activity is due to the close proximity of the plate boundaries. The landforms tend to be higher in general, and volcanic arcs are also a common sight.

I would choose the windmills for production of electric power.

The modern day windmills are relatively good producers of electric energy. They are not very expensive, they use renewable energy (the wind), and are of great use for both the economy and the people themselves.

The economic benefit can be seen that they produce energy very cheaply, and they do not require and resources for their functioning. Also, they save a lot of money because they manage to produce electricity that otherwise would have been imported, thus hitting the economy badly.

The benefit for the people is that they provide more electricity, stable one, and prevent the lack of electricity when it is used more, especially in the winter months. Also, this electricity is cheaper.
