Landforms
The surface of Earth has different landforms, which differ in size and shape. They can be
mountains, valleys, deserts, dunes, or plateaus.
Mountains are formed as a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tectonic
movements. Valleys, which can be V-shaped or U-shaped, are low-lying areas between
mountains and hills. Deserts are dry areas which have very little rainfall and the daytime
temperature is very high. Dunes are small hills made up of sand. They are created from
the flow of the water. Plateaus are flat areas and highlands, which are separated from
their surroundings.
Bodies of Water
Bodies of water include oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, streams, and glaciers. Water bodies
form the largest habitats on Earth, providing huge living spaces for marine life.
There are five oceans and seven seas and these bodies of water are salty, but most rivers,
streams, and lakes have fresh water.
Glaciers are the frozen bodies of water, which cover almost 10% of Earth’s land area, and
