Lis forLand

Land is any part of the world that isn't covered with water. The opposite of land is the sea. Land may also be used to describe the countryside or farming areas, as in "He works on the land". In this case, the opposite of the land is the city.

Mis forMangrove

Mangroves are a kind of tree that grow along with other plants as mangals. Mangroves grow in the area where the tide flows through them, so they spend some of their time under water and some of their time dry. Many sea creatures live among the mangroves's roots, and mangroves are particularly important as a safe place for baby sea creatures when they are still very young.

Mis forMarsh

A marsh is an area that is often underwater, or is mostly shallow water. Marshes are different to swamps in that they only have low grass and shrubs, and swamps have larger plants and trees.
A moor is an area of land with poor drainage, usually overgrown with heather and covered in a thick layer of peat.

Mis forMound

A mound is a raised part of the ground that is larger than a pile of dirt but smaller than a hill. Mounds can be naturally occurring, but most of the time mounds are made by people piling up some dirt. Burial mounds were used by some civilizations to mark the place of a grave. Mounds can also be used to describe a large pile of something that isn't dirt. For example, you might have a mound of paperwork or a mound of laundry.

Mis forMountain

Mountains are very big hills, and are usually steep and rocky. Some mountains are so high they have snow on the top.
