Understanding them allows you to read simple descriptions of landscapes and understand conversations about different environments. You will learn words for large land areas, bodies of water, and specific natural features. For example, you&#8217;ll know the difference between a <span data-no-translation>lake<\/span> (still water) and a <span data-no-translation>river<\/span> (moving water), or a <span data-no-translation>forest<\/span> (many trees) and a <span data-no-translation>rainforest<\/span> (a very wet forest). Mastering this vocabulary will make your English richer and more descriptive when discussing the planet we live on, from dry <span data-no-translation>deserts<\/span> to icy <span data-no-translation>glaciers<\/span>. Let&#8217;s explore these key terms together at Langcom!<\/div>\n<h2>What are common landforms in English?<\/h2>\n<p>Landforms are natural features of the Earth&#8217;s surface.
