This resource supports English language development for English language learners. In this interactive activity, students learn the vocabulary of different land forms in different regions of the United States. They click on the word and a picture and brief explanation appears.

Students will explore landforms by identifying and comparing a variety of them. Students will also discover how landforms can change. Resources for this lesson can be found as separate entries in the collection. They are identified as "Looking at Landforms: Name of Resource."
