 What’s the meaning?

There are many landforms in your surroundings. They include

mountains, hills, valleys, plains, plateaus and volcanoes.
Landforms are important to all living things. They are home to
humans, plants, and animals. They also provide us with food and
other resources.

 Mountains
The trees in the forest provide wild animals their habitat and
food. The trees give off oxygen to the atmosphere that people
and animals breathe.They provide materials for lumber used in
building houses and making furniture. The roots of trees absorb
water that prevents flood, landslide and soil erosion.

 Hills
They may be coverd with grass, few trees, or rocks. Some
farmers plant coconuts, bananas, and other crops on the hills.
Some insects like bees, dragonflies, and grasshoppers use the
plants as their habitat and source of food.

 Plains
It is where farmers plant rice, corn, vegetables and other
crops. Most people build towns and cities on plains. Roads,
houses, parks, and other buildings are built on plains.

 Valley
Crops like rice, corn, tobacco, and vegetables are also
planted in a valley. Cows and carabaos are brought to eat
grass in the valley.
 The bodies of water on Earth are very essential to all living
things. It is where humans and animals get freshwater to drink.
Some aquatic plants and animals serve as food for humans. It is
the habitat for marine life.

 Oceans and seas

Provide many fish, whales, and other marine animals and
plants with habitats. Big ships sail on oceans to go to other
places in the world. Fishers catch fish from seas to provide food
for people. They are important in water cycle and weather
changes.

 Lakes, rivers and ponds

Sources of freshwater and freshwater fish for living things.

 Waterfalls
Sources of freshwater and electricity. It is used to run
machines that produce electricity.

 Bay
Used as port for ships.

 Springs
Source of fresh underground water.

Clean surroundings are important to people and other

living things.
 What’s more to do?

Activity 2: Things that live in land and water.

Directions: Draw a green triangle if it lives in land, blue circle if it
lives in water.

1. Corals 6. Carabao

2`` 2. Goat 7. People

3. Narra tree 8. Whales

4. Seaweeds 9.Octopus

5.Sealions 10. Dog
