Geographic Features

An archipelago consists of a group of islands located in a sea or ocean.
Landforms refer to the natural features that shape the Earth's surface.
An isthmus is a narrow strip of land that connects two larger land masses, serving as a land bridge.
A gulf is a part of the ocean that is partially surrounded by land, often creating a protected area for marine life.
A channel is a body of water that links two larger bodies of water, facilitating navigation and marine transport.
A canyon is characterized by a deep valley with very steep sides, often formed by erosion from a river or water source.
A valley is a low area situated between mountains, typically where rivers may flow and ecosystems thrive.
Rivers are flowing bodies of water that move continuously, often originating from higher elevations and draining into oceans or lakes.
Lakes are inland bodies of water surrounded by land, varying in size, depth, and ecosystem diversity.
