This document discusses different types of landscapes. There are two main kinds - natural landscapes formed by elements of nature, and human/artificial landscapes that have been transformed by human activity through additions like roads, crops, etc. Natural landscapes may contain mountains, forests, trees, valleys and rivers, while human landscapes contain elements like crop fields, houses, schools, roads, and urban areas have more artificial additions, rural areas more natural. The document provides examples of landscape elements for interiors like mountains and valleys, and coasts like peninsulas and islands. It includes activities to classify landscapes and label landscape elements on pictures.
