A simple landscape picture shows four landforms (a mountain, a valley, a plain and an island) and three bodies of water (an ocean, a lake and a river), each traced and labelled one at a time. The river flows from the valley to the ocean, the labels are grouped by colour into land and water, and the video ends by saying that Earth has many kinds of land and water.
