Landling — Plateaus, Coasts & Islands Cliffside Plateau

Hi!

I'm Landling.

Welcome to Cliffside Plateau!

Will you help me investigate plateaus, coasts & islands?

The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.

Let's check the evidence!

A plateau is elevated land with a relatively flat top.

A cliff is a steep face;

both can appear near a plateau edge.

Which feature has a raised, relatively flat top?

  • A. An ocean trench
  • B. A low river channel
  • C. A plateau

The answer is C: A plateau

A plateau is elevated land with a relatively flat top.

A cliff is a steep face;

both can appear near a plateau edge.

That clue helps us make sense of this place.

A coast is where land meets the ocean.

An island has water all around it;

a peninsula remains connected to larger land on one side.

What is land surrounded by water called?

  • A. A plateau
  • B. An island
  • C. A peninsula

The answer is B: An island

A coast is where land meets the ocean.

An island has water all around it;

a peninsula remains connected to larger land on one side.

Hmm...

how does that connect to our first clue?

Map A shows water on every side of a land patch.

Map B shows a narrow land connection.

Use that connection, not the size of the patch,

to tell them apart.

Which map shows a peninsula?

  • A. Map B
  • B. Map A
  • C. Both, even without a land connection

The answer is A: Map B

A coast is where land meets the ocean.

An island has water all around it;

a peninsula remains connected to larger land on one side.

Nice investigating!
