This document discusses different types of landforms that will be covered through writing. It begins by stating the topic is about landforms and the learning objective is to discuss different kinds of landforms. It then provides definitions and examples of key landforms including mountains, valleys, plateaus, deserts, plains, islands, and peninsulas to introduce the concepts that will be written about.

4. LANDFORMS
Landforms are the kinds of land a
place has.
Landforms include mountains, valleys,
plateaus, deserts,plains, islands,
and peninsulas.

5. MOUNTAINS
Mountains can be tall and sharply
pointed like the Rocky Mountains.
Mountains can be lower and more
rounded like the Appalachian
Mountains.

6. VALLEYS
Valleys are lowlands that lie between
mountain ranges.
They are often good places for
communities because water runs down
from the mountains and they have rich
soil to grow crops.

7. PLATEAUS
Plateaus are landforms that have
STEEP SIDES and a FLAT top.
They may stretch for miles in every
direction.

8. DESERTS
A desert is dry land with few plants and
little water.

9. ISLANDS
An island is a piece of land that has
water on all sides.

10. PLAINS
The area of flat land along a sea or
ocean is a coastal plain.
Plains are flat sometimes grassy lands
that stretch for miles and can be good
habitats for animals like zebras, lions,
and elephants, giraffes.

11. PENINSULAS
A peninsula is a piece of land that has
water on ONLY THREE sides and
attached to another piece of land.
A good example of a peninsula is
FLORIDA.

12. REVIEW OF LANDFORMS
 MOUNTAINS: High
steep,rocky land
 VALLEYS: Low
land in between
mountains
 PLATEAUS:Steep,
sloped land with a
flat top
 DESERTS: Dry,
sandy land
 PLAINS: Flat,
grassy land that
stretches for miles
 ISLANDS: Land
surrounded by water
 PENINSULAS:Land
with water on 3
sides

14. Writing Activity
Students will choose their favorite
landform to write a 6- Square
assignment and write an essay of 6-
7 paragraphs ( each paragraph must
have 6-7 sentences).

15. Paragraph-2

like plains, plateaus, and
mountains, valleys etc. in
detail with examples.
Paragraph-3
Discuss different kinds of
plains ( like interior and
coastal) and different
mountains (like folded, fault
block, ---) in detail with
examples
Paragraph-4

we locate
different places by using
latitude and longitude.
Explain with examples.
p Paragraph-5
Define and explain the
functions of different maps
and projections with
examples.
