  5. Landform 4 Canyon: A deep valley with steep sides shaped by water.

  6. Landform 5 Valley: The low land that lies between mountains or hills. Canyon.

  7. Landform 6 Hoodoo: A strangely shaped rock formation, usually sculpted by wind erosion. Mushroom rock: A rock formation the has a narrow base and a wide top. Rock pillar: A tall column of rock. (A mushroom rock is a special type of rock pillar.)

  11. Landform 10 Glaciers: Large, long-lasting masses of moving ice and snow. Glaciers move downhill or outward in all directions as a result of gravity and their immense weight. Mountains, river, and a U-Shaped valley.

  12. Landform 11 Beach: Land at the edge of a body of water, usually marked by sand or gravel that has been deposited by waves. Cliff: A high, steep surface of rock.

  13. Landform 12 Sand ripples: Wave-like patterns that form on the surface of sand. The patterns move and shift due to changing water or wind currents.
