Study Notes

Uri Ng Anyong Lupa

Bundok: Mataas na anyong lupa, kadalasang may taluktok.
Buhangin: Maliliit na butil ng bato; kadalasang makikita sa mga disyerto.
Bulubundukin: Paruparong anyong lupa na magkakasunod na bundok.
Kapuluan: Grupo ng mga pulo.
Talampas: Patag na lupa na nasa itaas ng kapatagan, madalas na nakapalibot sa matarik na bahagi.
Kapatagan: Malawak at patag na lupain, kadalasang ginagamit sa agrikultura.
Lambak: Mababang bahagi ng lupa na napapalamutian ng bundok o burol.
Canyon: Malalim na lambak na nabuo ng pag-agos ng ilog.

Uri Ng Anyong Tubig

Ilog: Mahabang daluyan ng tubig na umaagos patungo sa dagat, lawa, o iba pang ilog.
Buhay: Lawa na may mas maliit na sukat kumpara sa dagat, madalas na nakapaligid sa lupa.
Dagat: Malaking anyong tubig na nakapalibot sa mga kontinente; may asin.
Karagatang: Pinakamalaking anyong tubig, mas malalim at mas malawak kaysa sa dagat.
Sapa: Maliit na daluyan ng tubig, mas mababaw at mas makitid kaysa sa ilog.
Batis: Maliit na anyong tubig na umaagos, madalas na nagmumula sa bukal o ulan.
Pond: Maliit na anyong tubig na maaaring likhain ng tao o natural na nabuo; madalas na mas mababaw.

These notes summarize the key types of landforms (anyong lupa) and water bodies (anyong tubig), highlighting their characteristics and differences.

Types of Landforms

Mountain (Bundok): Elevated landform with peaks; often considered significant landmarks.
Sand (Buhangin): Fine particles of rock commonly found in deserts; critical to certain ecosystems.
Mountain Range (Bulubundukin): Series of connected mountains that share a common geological origin.
Archipelago (Kapuluan): A cluster of islands typically formed by volcanic activity or rising sea levels.
Plateau (Talampas): Flat elevated land that rises sharply above the surrounding area; often surrounded by steep cliffs.
Plain (Kapatagan): Expansive, flat land often utilized for agriculture due to its fertile soil.
Valley (Lambak): Low-lying area surrounded by mountains or hills, often formed by erosion or glacial activity.
Canyon: Deep valley with steep sides, usually carved from the landscape by river erosion over millions of years.

Types of Water Bodies

River (Ilog): Long watercourse flowing towards a sea, lake, or another river; essential for ecosystems and human use.
Lake (Buhay): Body of freshwater smaller than an ocean, often surrounded by land; supports diverse wildlife.
Sea (Dagat): Large body of saltwater that covers significant portions of the Earth's surface; vital for marine biodiversity.
Ocean (Karagatang): Largest water body, deeper and broader than seas; influences climate and weather patterns globally.
Stream (Sapa): Narrow and shallow waterway that is smaller than a river; often a temporary water source.
Spring (Batis): Natural water source where water flows from the ground, often creating small streams or pools.
Pond: Small body of water, can be natural or artificial; usually shallower than lakes, supporting unique plants and animals.
