You see water— a lot of water. In fact, most of the earth is covered by water. 5 You also see land. The land rises high and goes low. It comes in many shapes. 6 Mountains and Hills When land rises high, it is called a mountain. Many mountains in a row are called ranges. 7 A hill is when the land rises just a little. Hills are smaller than mountains. 8 Valleys and Canyons When land is low, it is called a valley. Valleys can be small and narrow. They can also be big and wide.
