Did you know the Earth is like a large puzzle with pieces that fit together? These pieces create features like mountains, plains, plateaus, and valleys. Mountains, like the tall Everest, are formed when two pieces push against each other. Plains are like huge flat parks, while plateaus are flat but high, like a table! Valleys are like long shallow dips between mountains. Isn't it fascinating how our earth is shaped? Explore and learn more!
