Topography / Geomorphology
From a (Cypriot) Impact Risk Assessment, in the section about impacts of a road-building project on Topography and Geomorphology:
«Στην περιόχη δεν υπάρχουν οποιαδήποτε γεωμορφώματα, τα οποία θα μπορούσαν να επηρεασθούν.»
I've left my query as a plural as the word doesn't seem to exist in the singular. Even in the plural it seems to be confined to a handful of websites in Cyprus. One of the said sites has an English language version and uses 'Geoforms' - but that seems to have been invented by the site. 'Geomorph' is also wrong, it appears.

- or you could use "land-forms". Geomorphology is, after all, "the scientific study of the land-forms on the Earth's surface and of the processes that have fashioned them" (Oxford Dictionary of Earth Sciences).

geomorphological sites
If you read the Greek definition of the term on these Cypriot and a few other sites, it seems that γεωμορφώματα are characteristicic geological structures/elements, sometimes even protected by UNESCO.
In that sense, I think the term 'geomorphological sites' could be used... it depends, of course, on the context of what you are translating
Just a suggestion, but google it yourself, it seems valid enough in certain contexts at least.
