What’s on the Landforms poster
A 8-row table: Landform · What it is.
The land is not flat. These are the shapes it takes.
- Mountain — very high land with steep sides
- Hill — raised land, lower and rounder
- Valley — low ground between hills
- Plain — wide flat land
- Plateau — flat land raised high up
- Island — land with water all around it
- Peninsula — land with water on three sides
- Canyon — deep narrow valley cut by a river
Water made most of these — rivers cut valleys and canyons over millions of years.

- Who is the Landforms poster for?
- Landforms is filed under 2nd Grade (ages 7–8), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting social studies, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.
- When should you use the Landforms poster?
- Find each one on a map or in a photo before moving on. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Landforms belongs on the wall where that social studies work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Landforms?
- Maps and Globes, My Community and Past, Present, Future sit alongside Landforms in the 2nd Grade set. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Maps and GlobesMy CommunityPast, Present, Future
- Is the Landforms poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Landforms downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the 2nd Grade set. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Landforms poster print at?
- Landforms is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Landforms loses nothing.Printing guide
