List of landscape features

A plateau is a wide, flat area of land that is higher than the surrounding area, often due to being neighbored by canyons or valleys on all sides.

Rainbows happen when the sun shines through a very fine spray of water, like rain in the air or the spray from a garden hose or even from a waterfall. The rainbow is colourful because as sunlight travels through the water spray, it splits into a spectrum of colours. All the colours you see in a rainbow are there all the time in normal light, but they are mixed up together so you only see white light. You can also see the colours of the rainbow by shining light through a prism.

A ridge is a group of mountains or hills that are joined together to make a line rather than being a series of separate peaks. A ridge might also be any other raised line, like the center of an animal's back.

Scenery describes a beautiful view or landscape in nature.

The sky is the large, blue expanse over our heads. On a cloudy day, the sky may look grey. The sky is blue because the air surrounding the earth scatters blue light.
