Let me carefully examine the image to match each landform word with its correct picture.

First, I'll list all the words on the left:
- mountain
- valley
- hill
- volcano
- plains
- river
- lake
- ocean
- island
- canyon
- desert

Now I need to identify each picture on the right and match them correctly.

Let me zoom in on each picture to identify them clearly:

1. Top right: A tall peak with jagged edges → this looks like a mountain
2. Next to it: A cone-shaped hill with smoke/ash coming out → this is a volcano
3. Below that: A group of three pointed peaks → this is also a mountain (but there's only one "mountain" word, so maybe this is something else)
4. Next: A flat-topped area with trees around a depression → this looks like a valley
5. Below that: Two rounded, gentle bumps → this is a hill
6. Next: Large flat area with dots (maybe grass or crops) → this is plains
7. Below: Wavy line with sun rising over it → this is an ocean
8. Next: Curved shape with water and two people fishing → this is a lake
9. Below: Narrow winding path between steep walls → this is a canyon
10. Next: Small land surrounded by water with trees - an island
11. Bottom: Sandy area with cacti → this is a desert
12. Last: Wavy line flowing through landscape → this is a river

Wait, let me recount the pictures. There are 12 pictures and 11 words. Let me match more carefully.

Actually, looking again:
- The first picture (top right) shows rocky, jagged peaks → mountain
- Second picture (top far right) shows a cone with eruption → volcano
- Third picture (middle right, below volcano) shows multiple pointed peaks → could be mountains but we only have one "mountain" word
- Fourth picture (middle) shows a U-shaped depression with trees → valley
- Fifth picture (below that) shows rounded gentle slopes → hill
- Sixth picture (lower middle) shows flat land with dots → plains
- Seventh picture (bottom middle) shows water body with fishing people → lake
- Eighth picture (right side, below plains) shows wavy water with sun → ocean
- Ninth picture (bottom right) shows small land with trees surrounded by water → island
- Tenth picture (bottom left) shows deep narrow gorge → canyon
- Eleventh picture (very bottom) shows sandy area with cacti → desert
- Twelfth picture (left side, middle) shows winding water path → river

So all 11 words match 11 of the 12 pictures. Let me create the correct matching:

1. mountain → jagged peaks picture
2. valley → U-shaped depression with trees
3. hill → rounded gentle slopes
4. volcano → cone with eruption
5. plains → flat land with dots
6. river → winding water path
7. lake → contained water body with fishing
8. ocean → large wavy water with sun
9. island → small land surrounded by water
10. canyon → deep narrow gorge
11. desert → sandy with cacti

Since the task asks to "Draw a line to match," but I need to provide the final answer as the matching pairs, I'll list which word goes with which picture description.

However, since this is a matching exercise and the user wants just the final answer, I should provide the correct pairings.

Let me be precise about the standard matching for this type of worksheet:

- mountain: the picture with tall, rocky, jagged peaks
- valley: the picture showing a low area between hills/mountains (U-shaped with trees)
- hill: the picture with rounded, gentle slopes (not as tall as mountains)
- volcano: the cone-shaped mountain with smoke/ash coming from top
- plains: the flat land area (often shown with grass/dots)
- river: the winding water path through land
- lake: the enclosed body of water (smaller than ocean)
- ocean: the large body of water with waves and horizon/sun
- island: land completely surrounded by water
- canyon: deep, narrow valley with steep sides (like Grand Canyon style)
- desert: dry area with sand and cacti

Given this is a standard educational worksheet, the intended matches are:

Final Answer:
mountain → jagged peaks picture
valley → U-shaped depression picture
hill → rounded gentle slope picture
volcano → cone with eruption picture
plains → flat dotted land picture
river → winding water path picture
lake → enclosed water with fishing picture
ocean → large wavy water with sun picture
island → small land surrounded by water picture
canyon → deep narrow gorge picture
desert → sandy area with cacti picture
