📖 Theory · Lesson 1
What are landforms?
The surface of the Earth is covered by land and water. But the land is not the same everywhere: in some places it is high, in others it is low and flat. The different shapes, or features, of the land are called landforms.
🏔️ Inland landforms
They are away from the sea: mountains, mountain ranges, hills, valleys, plateaus, plains and rivers.
🌊 Coastal landforms
They are near the sea: beaches, cliffs, islands and peninsulas.

🧭 Look around you
Is the place where you live flat or on a slope? Is it inland or near the coast? Next time you travel, look out of the window and name the landforms you see.
