    Mountains, hills, plains, valleys, wetlands, oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, gulfs, and waterfalls are different types of landforms and bodies of water. Mountains are large landforms that stretch above surrounding land, usually in the form of peaks, and are formed by tectonic forces or volcanism. Hills are smaller landforms that extend above the terrain. Plains are flat, low-lying areas often used for agriculture. Valleys are low areas between hills, often with rivers running through them. Wetlands are saturated land areas with characteristic vegetation. Oceans and seas are large bodies of salt water, while rivers are freshwater streams flowing toward oceans or other bodies of water. Lakes are inland bodies

    A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited

    area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than


    a hill. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism. These forces can
    locally raise the surface of the earth. Mountains erode slowly through the action
    of rivers, weather conditions, and glaciers. A few mountains are isolated summits, but
    most occur in huge mountain ranges.

    Mount Kanlaon
    A mountain range (also mountain barrier/belt/system) is a geographic area
    containing numerous geologically related mountains. A mountain system or system of
    mountain ranges, sometimes is used to combine several geological features that are
    geographically (regionally) related.

    Cordillera Mountain Range


    A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. It often has a
    distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip topography a hill may refer to a
    particular section of flat terrain without a massive summit.

    A plain is a flat area. Plains occur as lowlands and at the bottoms of valleys but also
    on plateaus or uplands at high elevations. In a valley, a plain is enclosed on two sides
    but in other cases a plain may be delineated by a complete or partial ring of hills, by
    mountains or cliffs. Plains in many areas are important for agriculture because where
    the soils were deposited as sediments they may be deep and fertile, and the flatness
    facilitates mechanization of crop production; or because they support grasslands which
    provide good grazing for livestock.

    Central Luzon Plain


    A valley is a low area between hills, often with a river running through it. In geology,
    a valley or dale is a depression that is longer than it is wide. The terms U-shaped and
    V-shaped are descriptive terms of geography to characterize the form of valleys. Most
    valleys belong to one of these two main types or a mixture of them, (at least) with
    respect of the cross section of the slopes or hillsides.

    A wetland is a land area that is saturated with water, either permanently or seasonally,
    such that it takes on the characteristics of a distinct ecosystem. The primary factor that
    distinguishes wetlands from other land forms or water bodies is the
    characteristic vegetation of aquatic plants adapted to the unique hydric soil. Wetlands
    play a number of roles in the environment, principally water purification, flood control,
    carbon sink and shoreline stability. Wetlands are also considered the most biologically
    diverse of all ecosystems, serving as home to a wide range of plant and animal life.

    Laguna de Rocha, Argentina


    An ocean (from Ancient Greek , transc. Okeans, the sea of classical
    ]
    antiquity ) is a body of saline water that composes much of
    a planet's hydrosphere. On Earth, an ocean is one of the major conventional divisions of
    the World Ocean, which covers almost 71% of its surface.

    Atlantic Ocean
    A sea is a large body of salt water that is surrounded in whole or in part by land. More
    broadly, "the sea" is the interconnected system of Earth's salty, oceanic waters
    considered as one global ocean or as several principal oceanic divisions.

    Bohol Sea
    A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards
    an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and
    becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small
    rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill.

    Loboc River, Bohol


    A lake is an area of variable size filled with water, localized in a basin, that is
    surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the
    lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean (except for sea lochs in Scotland
    and Ireland), and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are also larger and deeper
    than ponds, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted
    with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing. However most lakes are fed and
    drained by rivers and streams.

    Lake Danao, Leyte


    A gulf is a large bay that is an arm of an ocean or sea.
    A waterfall is a place where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of
    a stream or river. Waterfalls also occur where melt water drops over the edge of a
    tabular iceberg or ice shelf.
