Okay, now I have a better view of all four images side-by-side. The first three are clear: a flat plain, the Chocolate Hills (hills), and Mt. Mayon (a volcano). The fourth image on the far right, despite the previous zoom-in failures, clearly depicts a deep, narrow valley with very steep, tree-covered sides and what looks like a riverbed or dry creek at the bottom. This is characteristic of a canyon or a gorge. I will now synthesize this information to provide a complete answer.
Based on the analysis of the provided slide, here is the solution to identifying the landforms shown:
The slide defines landforms as "the shapes of the land on Earth's surface" and provides four visual examples. Each image represents a distinct type of landform.
1.
Plain: The first image (top-left) shows a vast, flat, green expanse under a cloudy sky. This is a classic example of a
plain. Plains are large, flat areas of land that are generally low in elevation. They can be covered in grass, farmland, or even desert, and are often formed by sediment deposition from rivers or glaciers.
2.
Hills: The second image (top-right) displays numerous rounded, cone-shaped hills. These are characteristic of a
hilly landscape. Hills are elevated areas of land that are smaller than mountains, typically with a rounded top and gentle slopes. The specific example shown resembles the Chocolate Hills in the Philippines.
3.
Mountain/Volcano: The third image (bottom-left) features a single, prominent conical mountain with steep, green slopes. This is an example of a
mountain, specifically a
volcanic cone or
stratovolcano. Mountains are large landforms that rise prominently above their surroundings, and this one's shape suggests it was formed by volcanic activity. The text "Mt. Mayon" confirms it is a volcano.
4.
Canyon/Gorge: The fourth image (bottom-right) shows a deep, narrow valley with very steep, forested sides and a riverbed at the bottom. This is a
canyon or
gorge. Canyons are deep valleys carved by rivers over long periods, characterized by their steep, often vertical walls. The Grand Canyon is the most famous example.
In summary, the slide illustrates four common types of landforms: a plain, hills, a mountain (volcano), and a canyon.
