A LANDSCAPE IS EVERYTHING WE CAN SEE IN AN AREA.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LANDSCAPE:
NATURAL LANDSCAPES: FORMED BY NATURE.

THERE ARE THREE MAIN FEATURES IN A NATURAL LANDSCAPE:
LAND RELIEF: MOUNTAINS, VALLEYS, PLAINS
WATER: RIVERS, LAKES, SEAS...
VEGETATION: FORESTS, FIELDS

TYPES OF NATURAL LANDSCAPES: MOUNTAIN LANSCAPE, FLAT LANDSCAPE, COASTAL LANDSCAPE
MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPES:
THERE ARE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS.
VALLEYS ARE AREAS OF LAND BETWEEN MOUNTAINS. THERE ARE USUALLY RIVERS IN VALLEYS.
PARTS OF A MOUNTAIN: SUMMIT, FOOT AND SLOPE
SUMMIT: TOP OF A MOUNTAIN.
FOOT: BOTTOM OF A MOUNTAIN.
SLOPE: PART BETWEEN THE SUMMIT AND THE FOOT OF A MOUNTAIN.
A GROUP OF MOUNTAINS IS A MOUNTAIN RANGE.
FLAT LANDSCAPE:
THERE ARE PLAINS, PLATEAUX AND WIDE RIVERS.
WE OFTEN FIND FERTILE LOWLANDS NEAR THE RIVERS.
PLATEAUX ARE FLAT AREAS OF LAND HIGHER THAN PLAINS.
HILLS ARE SMALL ELEVATIONS OF LAND ON PLAINS. HILLS ARE LOWER THAN MOUNTAINS.
COASTAL LANDSCAPES ARE NEAR THE SEA:
THERE ARE:
BEACH: FLAT AREA OF SAND.
CLIFF: A VERY HIGH, STEEP ROCK NEXT TO THE SEA.
CAPE: LAND THAT EXTENDS INTO THE SEA.
BAY: WHERE THE SEA EXTENDS INTO THE LAND.
A LARGE BAY IS A GULF.
