Plum’s Island Explorer: Land and Water

View of the Valley

The image looks down on a landscape with various landforms and bodies of water.
From above, the image shows a view of landforms and water bodies across the island. These include two steep green mountainsides, a rolling valley that leads down to a flat landscape with a lake and a forest of trees. In the distance, a river leads to the lake.

This space between two tall hills or mountains is called a valley. The space is shaped like a "U" or a "V". Valleys are usually longer than they are wide. There might be a valley with a stream in it, too!
