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.

Rina8888 [55]

The tropical rain forests are the places on the land that have by far the highest biodiversity, both in plant and animal life. Because they have such a high biodiversity, and the vegetation is evergreen and constantly active, they have a huge effect on the global biosphere. They're the ones that increase the numbers and diversity on the planet, but also that huge biodiversity, especially in the plant life, contributes to higher levels of oxygen into the atmosphere, and that is very beneficial for all of the biodiversity on the planet. It is not coincidence that the Amazon rain forest, the largest in the present, is nicknamed ''the lungs of the Earth''.
