Let me work through this landform identification task step by step.
Looking at the diagram, I need to identify which landforms are shown and match them with the words provided: hill, mountain, lake, river, valley, plain.
Step 1: Identify each feature in the picture
Starting from the top left and working around:
1.
Top left arrow - Points to a smaller elevated area with some height but not as tall as the peaks. This is a
hill.
2.
Top right arrow - Points to the tall, snow-capped peaks. These are clearly
mountains.
3.
Middle left arrow - Points to the flat, low-lying green area near the water. This is a
plain.
4.
Middle right arrow - Points to the V-shaped depression between the mountains where trees are growing. This is a
valley.
5.
Bottom left arrow - Points to the large body of water. This is a
lake.
6.
Bottom right arrow - Points to the flowing water that connects different areas. This is a
river.
Step 2: Verify the answers
- Hill ✓ (smaller elevation)
- Mountain ✓ (tall peaks with snow)
- Plain ✓ (flat area)
- Valley ✓ (depression between mountains)
- Lake ✓ (large body of water)
- River ✓ (flowing water)
All six landforms from the word bank are used.
Step 3: Answer the second question about safest place to build a house
The safest place would be on the
plain - it's flat, away from flooding (not directly next to the river), and not on steep slopes where landslides could occur. It should be drawn on the flat green area, away from the riverbank and mountain slopes.

Final Answer:
Landform labels (from left to right, top to bottom):
- Top left box:
hill
- Top right box:
mountain
- Middle left box:
plain
- Middle right box:
valley
- Bottom left box:
lake
- Bottom right box:
river
Safest place to build a house: Draw on the flat plain area (the green flat land), staying away from the river edge and mountain slopes.
