Step-by-step solution for: Landforms - Worksheet | Printable and Distance Learning | Teaching ...
Let me carefully examine the image to match each diagram with the correct landform keyword.
I'll go row by row and identify each illustration:
Row 1:
- Left: Small island with palm tree → Island
- Middle: Green hill with lake inside (crater lake) → Volcano (the shape suggests a volcanic crater)
- Right: Body of water with waves and land around → Ocean
Row 2:
- Left: Sandy area with cactus and rocks → Desert
- Middle: Water falling over a cliff → Waterfall
- Right: Winding blue line through green land → River
Row 3:
- Left: Rolling green hills → Hills
- Middle: Large gray rocky peaks → Mountains
- Right: Cone-shaped mountain with lava flow → Volcano (but we already used volcano; wait—let me reconsider)
Wait—I need to be more precise. Let me zoom in on each to verify.
Actually, let me list all 12 images clearly:
1. Island with palm tree → Island
2. Round green hill with lake in center → This is likely a Crater Lake, but among options, "Volcano" fits best (volcanic crater).
3. Blue water with waves and green land → Ocean
4. Sand dunes, cactus, rock → Desert
5. Water cascading down rocks → Waterfall
6. Wavy blue line through green → River
7. Gentle rounded green mounds → Hills
8. Tall jagged gray peaks → Mountains
9. Cone with red lava flow → Volcano
10. Ice-covered cliffs with waterfall → Glacier
11. Flat-topped orange land with river cutting through → Canyon
12. Green land with animal (deer), gentle slopes → Plain
Now check the word bank:
- Glacier ✔ (image 10)
- Mountains ✔ (8)
- Plain ✔ (12)
- River ✔ (6)
- Ocean ✔ (3)
- Island ✔ (1)
- Hills ✔ (7)
- Desert ✔ (4)
- Waterfall ✔ (5)
- Canyon ✔ (11)
- Volcano ✔ (9) — but what about image 2?
Image 2: green hill with lake inside — could be a Lake (the lake itself), but the landform is the surrounding hill. However, "Lake" is an option, and it's a body of water *in* a landform. But the instruction says "label the diagram of Earth’s landforms", so the landform shown is likely a volcanic crater → Volcano.
But we have two volcano-like images (2 and 9). Let’s re-evaluate image 2: It looks like a *caldera* or volcanic crater filled with water — still a type of volcano landform. However, we only have one "Volcano" in the word list, and 12 slots.
Wait—the word list has exactly 10 words, but there are 12 diagrams. That suggests some words are used more than once? No, the instruction says “using the keywords below” — and there are 10 keywords, 12 boxes. That implies not all keywords are used, or maybe I miscount.
Let me count the keywords given:
- Glacier
- Mountains
- Plain
- River
- Ocean
- Island
- Hills
- Desert
- Waterfall
- Canyon
- Volcano
- Lake
That’s 12 keywords! I missed that earlier. Let me recount:
The list is:
• Glacier
• Mountains
• Plain
• River
• Ocean
• Island
• Hills
• Desert
• Waterfall
• Canyon
• Volcano
• Lake
Yes — 12 keywords, 12 diagrams. Perfect.
So now assign uniquely:
1. Island with palm tree → Island
2. Green hill with lake inside (crater) → Actually, the *lake* is the prominent feature; the landform is the basin, but keyword "Lake" exists → Lake
- But is a lake a *landform*? Technically, lakes are bodies of water, but often included in landform exercises. Given "Lake" is listed, and image shows a lake surrounded by land, likely Lake.
3. Large blue water with waves → Ocean
4. Sand, cactus → Desert
5. Waterfall → Waterfall
6. Winding blue line → River
7. Rolling green low elevations → Hills
8. High jagged peaks → Mountains
9. Cone with lava → Volcano
10. Ice cliffs with meltwater → Glacier
11. Deep valley with steep sides, river at bottom → Canyon
12. Flat green area with animal → Plain
Now confirm image 2: It’s a circular lake in a depression — this is a *lake*, and "Lake" is a keyword. So yes:
Final mapping:
1. Island
2. Lake
3. Ocean
4. Desert
5. Waterfall
6. River
7. Hills
8. Mountains
9. Volcano
10. Glacier
11. Canyon
12. Plain
All 12 keywords used once.
Final Answer:
Island, Lake, Ocean, Desert, Waterfall, River, Hills, Mountains, Volcano, Glacier, Canyon, Plain
