Exploring Landforms and Waterways

6th Gradeβ€’40 minutes

Learning Objective

I can define different landforms and waterways and identify them on a map.

Key Concepts

The two largest types of landforms are continents and oceans.

An isthmus is a narrow strip of land with water on both sides, connecting two larger pieces of land, while a peninsula is a piece of land that has water on three sides.

Rivers are important natural features that are fed by rain or melted snow, and they flow into larger bodies of water like lakes before reaching the ocean.
