10 Isthmus A narrow strip of land, with water on either side, which connects two land masses. Butte A rock formation with steep sides.

11 cliff A cliff is a high, steep face of rock and soil. canyon A canyon is a deep valley with very steep sides. Canyons are often formed by erosion from a river over a long period of time. gulf A gulf is a part of the ocean that is partly surrounded by land. delta A delta a low, watery land formed at the mouth of a river. A delta is often shaped like a triangle. dune A dune is a hill or a ridge made of sand. Dunes are shaped by the wind, and change all the time. hill A hill is a raised area or mound of land. island An island is a piece of land that is surrounded by water. lake A lake is a large body of water surrounded by land on all sides. mesa A mesa is a land formation with a flat area on top and steep walls. mountain A mountain is a very tall high, natural place on Earth. It is taller than a hill. ocean An ocean is a large body of salt water that surrounds a continent. peninsula A peninsula is a body of land that is surrounded by water on three sides.

12 plateau A plateau is a large, flat area of land that is higher than the surrounding land. pond A pond is a small body of water surrounded by land. A pond is smaller than a lake. river A river is a large, flowing body of water that usually empties into a sea or ocean. strait A strait is a narrow body of water that connects two larger bodies of water. valley A valley is a low place between mountains. volcano A volcano is a mountainous vent in the Earth's crust. When a volcano erupts, it spews out lava, ashes, and hot gases from deep inside the Earth. waterfall When a river falls off a steep part of land (down a cliff or the side of a mountain), it is called a waterfall. Beach A beach is an area of sand sloping down to the water of a sea or lake Oasis An oasis is an area made fertile by a source of freshwater in an otherwise dry and arid region. Instructions: Have your child color the landforms, and cut them and the definitions out. Glue the landform images down using the top tab, and then match the definition to the picture, placing the definition underneath the flip up landform picture tabs. Cave A cave is a large hole in the ground or in the side of a hill or mountain. Glacier A glacier is a longlasting, slowly-moving river of ice on land.

13 Instructions: Write about the landforms inside the foldable book. Glue here. Landforms found near the ocean

14 Glue here. Instructions: Compare and contrast an Isthmus and a Canal using the Venn diagram. On the inside of the foldable, write examples of where these landforms can be found.

15 Glue here. Instructions: Write about the landforms.

16 Only Passionate Curiosity Instructions: Write about the landforms Glue here Glue here

17 Glue on the bottom of the map panel, fold on the dotted lines

18 Landforms of the United States Find the Great Lakes, and color them blue. Find the Gulf of Mexico and color it teal. Find the Mississippi River and trace it in Green. Find the Rocky Mountains, and draw purple triangles where they go. Find the peninsula, and color it red.
