We are going to choose from the landforms listed in the poem to create a Power Point. After we have selected our landforms, we will use the links to find pictures of each landform. "Landforms" When you look at surface of Earth you'll agree That landforms are interesting features to see Almost all involve water to some degree Or from geological activity. See if you can figure out these landform riddles: What kind of landform has a vent at the top, Spews lava and steam and pieces of rock? VOLCANO What kind of landform has very steep sides That were cut by a river's erosion and time? CANYON Going over this landform will make you shiver. It occurs when there's a sharp drop off in a river. WATERFALL You get to this landform when oceans run dry. They're broad, flat spaces under the sky. PLAINS What kind of landform is tallest of all With a spiky top where snow may fall? MOUNTAINS What kind of landform always runs downhill And can be used to turn turbines that power a mill? RIVER Landforms like this are often times found In the side of a mountain or as a hole in the ground. CAVE What kind of landform is a huge chunk of water That takes up three-fourths of the Earth, and is salty? OCEAN This landform is found at the bottom of mountains And very tall hills; it's the low land between them. VALLEY To get to this landform, a boat you may ride Since water surrounds it on every side. ISLAND Triangle-shaped landforms like this often sit Near the ocean where a river finally runs into it. DELTA Which type of landform stretches into the tides; Surrounded by water on three of its sides? PENINSULA This large body of water is surrounded by land. It's a great place to fish and swim, if you can. LAKE When the wind and the rain wear a mountain away, The mound that is left is this landform, they say. HILL Which type of landform is just one of seven? It's a really big place split up into nations. CONTINENTS When you look at surface of Earth you'll agree That landforms are interesting features to see There are many more out there that you'll want to know Like mesa and harbor, gulf and plateau, Fault, fjord and an Archipelago |
