Step-by-step solution for: Landscapes - ESL worksheet by esba
Let's solve this step-by-step based on the image you've provided.
---
We are given a list of landscape terms:
> beach, city, cliff, valley, forest, hill, lake, mountain, plain, village, island, river
We need to match each term to the correct picture in the grid.
Here’s the grid layout (3 rows × 4 columns):
#### Row 1:
1. Beach – Sandy shore with ocean, sun, and a flag → Beach
2. City – Many buildings, cars, helicopters → City
3. Cliff – Steep rock face next to sky → Cliff
4. Valley – River flowing between green hills → Valley
#### Row 2:
5. Forest – Trees, stream, mushrooms → Forest
6. Hill – Green rounded elevation → Hill
7. Lake – Body of water surrounded by mountains → Lake
8. Mountain – Tall peak with snow → Mountain
#### Row 3:
9. Plain – Flat grassy land under clouds → Plain
10. Village – Small houses, sun, colorful buildings → Village
11. Island – Palm trees on sand surrounded by water → Island
12. River – Water flowing between two land masses → River
---
Now we write the correct name under each image:
| Image | Name |
|-------|------------|
| 1 | Beach |
| 2 | City |
| 3 | Cliff |
| 4 | Valley |
| 5 | Forest |
| 6 | Hill |
| 7 | Lake |
| 8 | Mountain |
| 9 | Plain |
| 10 | Village |
| 11 | Island |
| 12 | River |
---
Now classify each feature into Inland or Coastal.
- Inland features: Located away from the coast; not directly connected to the sea.
- Coastal features: Found along or near the sea.
#### Inland:
- City – Can be anywhere, but usually not defined by coastline
- Cliff – Often coastal, but can be found in rivers too? Wait — let's clarify:
- Cliff – Usually coastal, but sometimes found in valleys → But in this context, it’s likely coastal
- However, cliffs are often associated with coastlines, so Coastal is better.
Let’s go through each:
| Term | Type | Reason |
|------------|------------|--------|
| Beach | Coastal | On the seashore |
| City | Inland / Coastal? → But cities can be both. However, city is not inherently coastal → Inland (unless specified) |
| Cliff | Coastal | Typically found at sea edges |
| Valley | Inland | Landform between hills/mountains |
| Forest | Inland | Can be anywhere, generally not coastal |
| Hill | Inland | Landform, not necessarily near sea |
| Lake | Inland | Freshwater body, not ocean-connected |
| Mountain | Inland | High land, usually not on coast |
| Plain | Inland | Flat area, often interior |
| Village | Inland | Small settlement, not necessarily on coast |
| Island | Coastal | Surrounded by water, usually ocean |
| River | Inland | Flows toward sea, but origin and most parts are inland |
But note: Island is coastal because it's surrounded by water and part of the coastline.
So final classification:
#### ✔ INLAND Features:
- Valley
- Forest
- Hill
- Lake
- Mountain
- Plain
- River
- Village
- City (assumed not coastal unless shown)
Wait — City and Village could be coastal or not. But since no sea is visible in their images, we assume they are inland.
But beach and island clearly show water/ocean → coastal
So:
#### ✔ COASTAL Features:
- Beach
- Cliff
- Island
But what about river? It flows into the sea, but the river itself is inland unless it's the estuary.
So:
#### Final Classification:
| INLAND | COASTAL |
|--------|---------|
| Valley | Beach |
| Forest | Cliff |
| Hill | Island |
| Lake | |
| Mountain | |
| Plain | |
| River | |
| Village| |
| City | |
Wait — city and village might be coastal if near the sea. But in these images:
- City: no sea visible → inland
- Village: no sea visible → inland
- Island: clearly coastal
- Beach: coastal
- Cliff: coastal (especially if near sea)
- River: only if it meets sea, but image shows river between land → inland
- Lake: freshwater → inland
- Mountain: not necessarily coastal → inland
- Hill, plain, valley, forest: all inland
So only Beach, Cliff, and Island are clearly coastal.
But wait — river may be coastal if it's an estuary, but the image shows a river cutting through land → inland
And lake is inland
So:
---
#### Names for Images (from left to right, top to bottom):
1. Beach
2. City
3. Cliff
4. Valley
5. Forest
6. Hill
7. Lake
8. Mountain
9. Plain
10. Village
11. Island
12. River

#### Classification:
| INLAND | COASTAL |
|--------|---------|
| Valley | Beach |
| Forest | Cliff |
| Hill | Island |
| Lake | |
| Mountain | |
| Plain | |
| River | |
| Village| |
| City | |
Wait — we have 10 items in the list, but only 3 coastal?
Yes, that’s correct.
But let’s double-check:
- Beach → coastal ✔
- Cliff → coastal ✔ (especially when seen with sea)
- Island → coastal ✔
- River → mostly inland, unless at mouth → here, it’s shown flowing between land → inland
- City → no water → inland
- Village → no water → inland
- Lake → freshwater → inland
- Mountain → can be coastal or not → but not defined by coast → inland
- Plain → flat land → inland
- Hill → small elevation → inland
- Valley → between hills → inland
- Forest → trees → inland
So only Beach, Cliff, Island are clearly coastal.
But river — does it flow into the sea? The image shows it between two landmasses, so probably inland.
Similarly, lake is inland.
So yes.

INLAND:
- Valley
- Forest
- Hill
- Lake
- Mountain
- Plain
- River
- Village
- City
COASTAL:
- Beach
- Cliff
- Island
Note: Some features like city and village could be coastal, but based on the image content, they are not shown near the sea, so classified as inland.

#### Write the names under each picture:
1. Beach
2. City
3. Cliff
4. Valley
5. Forest
6. Hill
7. Lake
8. Mountain
9. Plain
10. Village
11. Island
12. River
#### Classify:
| INLAND | COASTAL |
|--------|---------|
| Valley, Forest, Hill, Lake, Mountain, Plain, River, Village, City | Beach, Cliff, Island |

Step 1: Identify and Label Each Image
We are given a list of landscape terms:
> beach, city, cliff, valley, forest, hill, lake, mountain, plain, village, island, river
We need to match each term to the correct picture in the grid.
Here’s the grid layout (3 rows × 4 columns):
#### Row 1:
1. Beach – Sandy shore with ocean, sun, and a flag → Beach
2. City – Many buildings, cars, helicopters → City
3. Cliff – Steep rock face next to sky → Cliff
4. Valley – River flowing between green hills → Valley
#### Row 2:
5. Forest – Trees, stream, mushrooms → Forest
6. Hill – Green rounded elevation → Hill
7. Lake – Body of water surrounded by mountains → Lake
8. Mountain – Tall peak with snow → Mountain
#### Row 3:
9. Plain – Flat grassy land under clouds → Plain
10. Village – Small houses, sun, colorful buildings → Village
11. Island – Palm trees on sand surrounded by water → Island
12. River – Water flowing between two land masses → River

Step 2: Fill in the Names Under Each Picture
Now we write the correct name under each image:
| Image | Name |
|-------|------------|
| 1 | Beach |
| 2 | City |
| 3 | Cliff |
| 4 | Valley |
| 5 | Forest |
| 6 | Hill |
| 7 | Lake |
| 8 | Mountain |
| 9 | Plain |
| 10 | Village |
| 11 | Island |
| 12 | River |

Step 3: Classify as Inland or Coastal Features
Now classify each feature into Inland or Coastal.
- Inland features: Located away from the coast; not directly connected to the sea.
- Coastal features: Found along or near the sea.
#### Inland:
- City – Can be anywhere, but usually not defined by coastline
- Cliff – Often coastal, but can be found in rivers too? Wait — let's clarify:
- Cliff – Usually coastal, but sometimes found in valleys → But in this context, it’s likely coastal
- However, cliffs are often associated with coastlines, so Coastal is better.
Let’s go through each:
| Term | Type | Reason |
|------------|------------|--------|
| Beach | Coastal | On the seashore |
| City | Inland / Coastal? → But cities can be both. However, city is not inherently coastal → Inland (unless specified) |
| Cliff | Coastal | Typically found at sea edges |
| Valley | Inland | Landform between hills/mountains |
| Forest | Inland | Can be anywhere, generally not coastal |
| Hill | Inland | Landform, not necessarily near sea |
| Lake | Inland | Freshwater body, not ocean-connected |
| Mountain | Inland | High land, usually not on coast |
| Plain | Inland | Flat area, often interior |
| Village | Inland | Small settlement, not necessarily on coast |
| Island | Coastal | Surrounded by water, usually ocean |
| River | Inland | Flows toward sea, but origin and most parts are inland |
But note: Island is coastal because it's surrounded by water and part of the coastline.
So final classification:
#### ✔ INLAND Features:
- Valley
- Forest
- Hill
- Lake
- Mountain
- Plain
- River
- Village
- City (assumed not coastal unless shown)
Wait — City and Village could be coastal or not. But since no sea is visible in their images, we assume they are inland.
But beach and island clearly show water/ocean → coastal
So:
#### ✔ COASTAL Features:
- Beach
- Cliff
- Island
But what about river? It flows into the sea, but the river itself is inland unless it's the estuary.
So:
#### Final Classification:
| INLAND | COASTAL |
|--------|---------|
| Valley | Beach |
| Forest | Cliff |
| Hill | Island |
| Lake | |
| Mountain | |
| Plain | |
| River | |
| Village| |
| City | |
Wait — city and village might be coastal if near the sea. But in these images:
- City: no sea visible → inland
- Village: no sea visible → inland
- Island: clearly coastal
- Beach: coastal
- Cliff: coastal (especially if near sea)
- River: only if it meets sea, but image shows river between land → inland
- Lake: freshwater → inland
- Mountain: not necessarily coastal → inland
- Hill, plain, valley, forest: all inland
So only Beach, Cliff, and Island are clearly coastal.
But wait — river may be coastal if it's an estuary, but the image shows a river cutting through land → inland
And lake is inland
So:

✔ Final Answer:
#### Names for Images (from left to right, top to bottom):
1. Beach
2. City
3. Cliff
4. Valley
5. Forest
6. Hill
7. Lake
8. Mountain
9. Plain
10. Village
11. Island
12. River

Wait — we have 10 items in the list, but only 3 coastal?
Yes, that’s correct.
But let’s double-check:
- Beach → coastal ✔
- Cliff → coastal ✔ (especially when seen with sea)
- Island → coastal ✔

So only Beach, Cliff, Island are clearly coastal.
But river — does it flow into the sea? The image shows it between two landmasses, so probably inland.
Similarly, lake is inland.
So yes.
