ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English Geographical Features for Kids – The Relief of the Earth’s Surface
Hello friends! Today, we’re going on a special journey to learn about the Earth. We’re going to discover the different shapes and features of the Earth’s surface. To see everything better, let’s imagine we’re flying high in the sky with a drone. Are you ready for this adventure?
Wow! From up high, everything looks so different! Our planet is mostly blue because of the oceans and seas. We can also see big brown and green areas, which are the land. The Earth’s surface has many different shapes, and these are called geographical features.
A mountain is a tall landform that rises above everything around it. For example, Mount Fuji in Japan is a famous mountain.
A mountain range is a group of mountains connected together. The Andes mountain range is one of the longest in the world.
Plains are large, flat areas of land. They stretch across the Earth and are above sea level. The Serengeti Plains in Africa are a great example.
A plateau is a flat area of land that is higher than the land around it. The Missouri Plateau in North America is one such place.
An island is a piece of land surrounded by water. Madagascar in Africa is a large island.
An archipelago is a group of many islands close together. The Caribbean archipelago is located between North and South America.
A peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by water on three sides. The Iberian Peninsula is an example.
A cape is a narrow piece of land that sticks out into the water. The Cape of Good Hope is a famous cape.
A gulf is a part of the sea that goes into the land, surrounded by two capes. The Gulf of Mexico is a well-known gulf.
A beach is an area of sand or pebbles next to the sea, river, or lake. Beaches in Los Angeles are popular for fun and relaxation.
Continents are surrounded by oceans and seas. The Pacific Ocean is the largest, and the Mediterranean Sea is famous for its history.
A river is a flowing stream of water that can lead to the sea, a lake, or another river. The Nile River in Africa is the longest river.
A lake is a large area of water surrounded by land. Loch Ness in Scotland is a famous lake.
This has been an exciting journey! We’ve learned that the Earth’s surface has many different shapes called geographical features. Mountains, plains, islands, and rivers are just a few examples.
We’ve discovered some of the Earth’s amazing secrets. There are many more things to learn, so keep exploring and having fun!
See you soon, friend!

Create Your Own Landform Model: Gather some modeling clay or playdough and create different landforms like mountains, islands, and plateaus. Use a flat surface as your base and shape the clay to represent each landform. Once you’re done, explain to a friend or family member what each landform is and where you might find it on Earth.
Landform Scavenger Hunt: Next time you go for a walk or visit a park, try to spot different landforms or water bodies. Can you find a hill, a river, or a small island in a pond? Take a notebook and draw what you see. Write down the name of each feature and describe it in your own words.
Map Your Own Island: Imagine you are an explorer and have discovered a new island. Draw a map of your island and include different geographical features like mountains, rivers, and beaches. Give your island a name and write a short story about what adventures you might have there.

Hello friends! Today, I want to take you on a special journey to discover new things about the Earth. We’re going to learn about the relief of the Earth’s surface and the types of landforms that exist. To see everything much better, we’re going to need my drone. Are you ready for this adventure?
[Music]
Wow! I think we’re really high now. Everything looks so different from up here! I can see that our planet is blue due to the oceans and seas on its surface. I can also see large brown and green land masses that make up the scenery. From up here, I can see that the surface of the Earth is shaped differently. This must be the relief of its surface.
The relief of the Earth’s surface refers to the elevation changes in the landscape. These elevation changes or landforms are called geographical features.
**Mountain**: A mountain is a landmass that rises above its surroundings. For example, Mount Fuji is in Japan.
[Music]
**Mountain Range**: A mountain range is a series of mountains connected together. I can see the Andes mountain range from up here.
[Applause]
**Plains**: Plains are vast areas of flat land that stretch across the Earth’s surface above sea level. For example, the Serengeti Plains in Africa.
**Plateau**: A plateau is a flat area of land high above sea level. Look, this is the Missouri Plateau in North America.
[Music]
**Island**: An island is a tract of land surrounded by water. Look right there, it’s the island of Madagascar in Africa.
**Archipelago**: An archipelago is a group of many closely scattered islands. For example, the Caribbean archipelago between North and South America.
**Peninsula**: A peninsula is a portion of land surrounded by water on three sides. Can you name a peninsula? That’s it, the Iberian Peninsula!
**Cape**: A cape is a narrow part of land that extends into the water, usually the sea. The Cape of Good Hope is one of the most famous capes in the world.
**Gulf**: A gulf is part of the sea that extends into the land, enclosed by two capes. Look, that’s the Gulf of Mexico! Impressive!
**Beach**: A beach is an area of sand or pebbles near the shore of the sea, river, or lake. I love the beaches in Los Angeles!
Continents are surrounded by oceans and seas. This is the Pacific Ocean [Applause] and the Mediterranean Sea. Let’s continue our journey!
[Applause]
**River**: A river is a stream of water that may flow into the sea, a lake, or another river. The Nile River is the longest in Africa.
**Lakes**: A lake is a large inland area of freshwater. Let’s fly to Loch Ness in Scotland!
[Music]
This has been a sensational journey! We’ve learned that the relief of the Earth’s surface is the elevation changes in the landscape, and that these elevation changes or landforms are called geographical features. Mountains, mountain ranges, capes, islands, and rivers make up the Earth’s relief.
I’ve taken thousands of pictures and discovered some of the secret marvels of the Earth.
