Landform

• A process in which mapmakers determine distances and elevations using instruments and the principles of geometry

• A natural satellite that orbits a planet

• Dark-colored organic material in soil

• A feature on the surface of Earth, such as a coastline, dune, or mountain

Mountain

• A landform made of sediment that is deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake

  
  

• A landform with high elevation and high relief

• A hill of sand piled up by the wind

•  A natural stream of water that flows into another body of water such as an ocean, lake, or river

  
  

Coastline

• A line that forms the boundary between the land and the trees
