Definition: Landscape: A landscape is an area, created by a combination of geological, geomorphological, biological and cultural layers that have evolved over time e.g. riverine, coastal or rainforest.

 

Identification activity: Pictures of different landscapes displayed on board for students to identify. 

 

Definition: Landforms are unique features of the Earth’s surface identified by their shape. For example, valleys, plateaus, mountains, plains, deserts, hills, rivers, lakes or glaciers etc.

 

Identification activity: Pictures of different landforms displayed on the board for students to identify.
