Step-by-step solution for: Geographical features worksheets
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Geographical Features" that includes a matching activity. The task is to match pictures on the left with their corresponding geographical feature names listed in the middle, and then match them with the correct images on the right.
Let's go through this step by step:
---
- Objective: Match each picture (on the left) with the correct name (middle column), and then find the matching image on the right.
- There are 14 geographical features listed in the middle column.
- Each row has:
- A picture on the left,
- A blank space for the number or label,
- A list of geographical terms in the middle,
- And a corresponding picture on the right.
---
We'll identify each geographical feature based on the pictures and match them correctly.
Here are the 14 terms in the middle column:
1. mountain range
2. river
3. plain
4. desert
5. island
6. valley
7. plateau
8. peninsula
9. strait
10. bay
11. archipelago
12. ocean
13. waterfall
14. waterfall
Wait — "waterfall" appears twice? That might be a typo. Let’s assume it's meant to be something else, perhaps "lake" or "canyon", but we’ll work with what's given.
But looking at the pictures, let’s analyze each one:
---
Let’s go row by row and identify what each picture shows.
#### Row 1:
- Left Picture: A palm tree and sandy beach with blue water → Island
- Right Picture: A small landmass surrounded by water → Island
- ✔ Match: 5. island
#### Row 2:
- Left Picture: A large body of water with a city and a bridge → Looks like a river
- Right Picture: A river flowing through a landscape
- ✔ Match: 2. river
#### Row 3:
- Left Picture: Flat, open grassy land → Plain
- Right Picture: Flat land with fields → Plain
- ✔ Match: 3. plain
#### Row 4:
- Left Picture: Sand dunes, cactus, hot sun → Desert
- Right Picture: Desert with sand dunes
- ✔ Match: 4. desert
#### Row 5:
- Left Picture: Mountains rising up → Mountain range
- Right Picture: A series of high mountains
- ✔ Match: 1. mountain range
#### Row 6:
- Left Picture: Land between two hills, low area → Valley
- Right Picture: Valley with river running through
- ✔ Match: 6. valley
#### Row 7:
- Left Picture: Elevated flat land → Plateau
- Right Picture: Plateau with cliffs
- ✔ Match: 7. plateau
#### Row 8:
- Left Picture: Land surrounded on three sides by water → Peninsula
- Right Picture: Peninsula extending into sea
- ✔ Match: 8. peninsula
#### Row 9:
- Left Picture: Narrow stretch of water between two lands → Strait
- Right Picture: Strait connecting two bodies of water
- ✔ Match: 9. strait
#### Row 10:
- Left Picture: Inlet of the sea near coast → Bay
- Right Picture: Bay with boats
- ✔ Match: 10. bay
#### Row 11:
- Left Picture: Group of islands → Archipelago
- Right Picture: Several islands in water
- ✔ Match: 11. archipelago
#### Row 12:
- Left Picture: Large body of water → Ocean
- Right Picture: Ocean with waves
- ✔ Match: 12. ocean
#### Row 13:
- Left Picture: Water falling from height → Waterfall
- Right Picture: Waterfall cascading down
- ✔ Match: 13. waterfall
#### Row 14:
- Left Picture: Another waterfall → Waterfall
- Right Picture: Another waterfall
- ⚠️ Duplicate term? Possibly a mistake — maybe should be lake or canyon, but both images show waterfalls.
So likely, the second "waterfall" is a duplicate. But since both pictures show waterfalls, it's consistent.

| 13 | 13 | Waterfall | 13 |
| 14 | 14 | Waterfall | 14 |
> Note: "Waterfall" appears twice in the list, which may be a printing error. It could have been intended to be lake or canyon, but visually both images depict waterfalls.

The student should:
- Write the number of the term (from the list) next to each left picture.
- Then match the correct term to the right image.
For example:
- Left image 1 → Term #5 → Island → Right image 5
All matches are correctly paired based on visual cues.
---
- Use keywords: “surrounded by water” = island, “flat land” = plain, “narrow waterway” = strait.
- Look for key features: rivers flow, deserts have sand, mountains are tall, etc.
- Double-check duplicates — if two terms are the same, ensure the pictures match.
