large landforms that rise prominently above their surroundings, typically having a peak and steep slopes. They are formed through geological processes such as tectonic plate movements and volcanic activity.

elevated landforms that are smaller and less steep than mountains. They have a rounded summit and are often formed by erosion or sediment deposition.

barren, dry region with very little precipitation, sparse vegetation, and extreme temperature variations.

a natural watercourse, usually a stream of fresh water, that flows another body of water like an ocean, sea, lake, etc.

large area of sea partially enclosed by land, typically with a narrower opening to the ocean.

a large body of saltwater that is smaller than an ocean and is partially enclosed by land. They are often connected to oceans but are distinct in their geographic boundaries.

a landform where a river meets a body of water, such as a sea or lake, and deposits sediment, forming a typically triangular or fan-shaped area.

a large waterfall or a series of waterfalls, often characterized by a steep drop and turbulent flow.

a fertile area in a desert where water is available from a natural spring or well, allowing for the growth of vegetation and supporting life.

a low area of land between hills or mountains, often with a river or stream flowing through it. They are typically formed by erosion from glaciers, rivers, or tectonic activity. Valley

Gulf	large area of sea partially enclosed by land, typically with a narrower opening to the ocean.
Seas	a large body of saltwater that is smaller than an ocean and is partially enclosed by land. They are often connected to oceans but are distinct in their geographic boundaries.
Delta	a landform where a river meets a body of water, such as a sea or lake, and deposits sediment, forming a typically triangular or fan-shaped area.
Cataract	a large waterfall or a series of waterfalls, often characterized by a steep drop and turbulent flow.
Oasis	a fertile area in a desert where water is available from a natural spring or well, allowing for the growth of vegetation and supporting life.
Valley	a low area of land between hills or mountains, often with a river or stream flowing through it. They are typically formed by erosion from glaciers, rivers, or tectonic activity. Valley
