I'll solve this landforms matching worksheet step by step.
First, I need to match each landform name with its correct picture, and then match each name with its definition by placing the correct letter under the word.
Let me start by examining the images and their corresponding names:
1. The first image shows rolling green hills - this should be "Hills"
2. The second image shows a volcano erupting - this should be "Volcano"
3. The third image shows a winding path through a valley - this should be "Valley"
4. The fourth image shows a flat grassy area - this should be "Plain"
5. The fifth image shows an island with a palm tree - this should be "Island"
6. The sixth image shows tall, pointed mountains - this should be "Mountains"
Now I need to match these names with their definitions:
a. area of land that is completely surrounded by water. → This is an Island
b. large, flat area of land. → This is a Plain
c. large mound of land with a rounded top; smaller than a mountains → This is Hills
d. large, tall mass of rock with steep sides; taller than hills → This is Mountains
e. low land between hills or mountains → This is Valley
f. an opening in the earth's crust from which lava flows → This is Volcano
Let me now assign the correct letters to each landform name:
- Mountains: d (large, tall mass of rock with steep sides; taller than hills)
- Hills: c (large mound of land with a rounded top; smaller than a mountains)
- Plain: b (large, flat area of land)
- Volcano: f (an opening in the earth's crust from which lava flows)
- Island: a (area of land that is completely surrounded by water)
- Valley: e (low land between hills or mountains)
The solution is:
Mountains - d
Hills - c
Plain - b
Volcano - f
Island - a
Valley - e
