LANDFORM WORKSHEET INSTRUCTIONS

At the bottom of this worksheet, give an actual example for each of the terms listed.  For example,
 "plain" could be Great Plains, "mountain range" could be Rocky Mountains.  Use the 
drawing at the top of the page as a reference as well as the diagram on page 21 of the textbook.  This 
activity will be most beneficial if you will use examples as close to home as possible (Salt Lake, or Utah,
or the United States) or places you have actually been to.  Don't forget to use the various maps in the 
textbook as well for examples, especially for coastal features that we might not have around here.  It is
important to carefully complete this assignment as you will be using some of this information later on.
