  3. 3. This is a large mass of ice that forms over time from compacted snow. Glaciers are constantly moving and can shape the land by carving out valleys and creating lakes.
  4. 8. This is a large body of water surrounded by land. Lakes can be freshwater or saltwater and are often home to various plants and animals. They provide recreational opportunities for fishing, swimming, and boating.
  5. 11. This is a rounded elevated area of land that is lower and less steep than a mountain. Hills are often covered in grass and are suitable for activities like hiking and picnicking.
  6. 13. This is a low-lying area of land between hills or mountains, typically with a river or stream running through it. Valleys are often fertile and used for agriculture.
  7. 14. This is a vast body of saltwater that covers a significant portion of the Earth's surface. Oceans are home to a diverse range of marine life and play a crucial role in regulating the planet's climate.
