Bodies of Water
The document describes four major bodies of water: oceans, gulfs, rivers, and lakes. Oceans are the largest body of water and have salty water. Gulfs are bodies of ocean water surrounded by land on three sides. Rivers are streams of water that flow across land. Lakes are bodies of fresh water surrounded by land.
Bodies of Water
The document discusses the key characteristics of major bodies of water: oceans are the largest, covering 70% of Earth's surface and containing salt water; rivers flow towards oceans and other bodies of water, transporting fresh water from rain and snow; streams flow into rivers and are confined within banks; lakes are surrounded by land and can be natural or manmade; and ponds are smaller and more shallow than lakes, also containing fresh water.
Bodies of water
There are many bodies of water in the United States including lakes, rivers, and oceans. Some important rivers discussed include the Mississippi River, which is the largest river system in North America, the Colorado River, and the Arkansas River. The Great Lakes along the US-Canada border were also covered, including Lake Erie being the southernmost, shallowest, and smallest by volume of the five lakes. Finally, the three oceans bordering the US were mentioned with the Pacific Ocean identified as the largest oceanic division.

Landforms review
This document defines and provides examples of different types of landforms and physical regions. It discusses 8 major regions: 1) mountain, 2) valley, 3) river basin, 4) desert, 5) plains, 6) coastal plain, 7) island, and provides information on key landforms within each region, such as mountains, plateaus, valleys, deltas, mesas, buttes, peninsulas, bays, gulfs, seas, islands, straits, and isthmuses. Examples are given for many of the landforms.
The East: Land and Water
The Appalachian Mountains stretch from Canada to northern Alabama and Georgia. Formed over hundreds of millions of years by colliding continents, the mountains have been worn down over time by erosion. The coastal plain lies east of the mountains and is wider in the central and southern parts of the region. It has major cities, farms, and factories and was shaped by glaciers that left rock and sand deposits. Rivers flowing from the mountains provided waterpower for early mills and factories, and harbors and bays along the Atlantic coast supported important shipping centers.
Estuaries and barrier islands
Estuaries are coastal bodies of water where fresh river water and salty ocean water mix, creating a unique environment. They are highly productive ecosystems that provide important habitat for many species and offer economic benefits to humans through activities like tourism, fishing, and shipping. Barrier islands help protect estuaries by forming a barrier against ocean waves and tides. Both estuaries and barrier islands are delicate systems vulnerable to threats from rising sea levels, erosion, and storms.

Lakes and rivers are important bodies of freshwater on Earth. Lakes and rivers contain water, which can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. While water covers 70% of the Earth's surface, most is saltwater - only 1% of the total water on Earth is freshwater available for human use, found primarily in lakes and rivers. Rivers drain the landscape and transport water and minerals to oceans, beginning as small streams and merging into larger rivers like the Amazon and Mississippi that span great distances. Lakes vary in depth, size, and location around the world, storing about 90% of the Earth's surface freshwater aside from oceans.
