Age 8 · Geography
Open to everyone until Tuesday, October 27
To keep it, print it while it is open.
A tall mountain rises from a green valley up to a snowy peak. The higher you go, the more the land changes from forest to meadow to snow.
In the picture
- The snowy summit: rock and ice at the very top
- The alpine meadow: short grass above the trees
- The conifer belt: dark pointed trees on the lower slopes
- The valley floor: a river and a few houses below
Examples
- In summer you can still see snow on high mountain tops.
- On a hill near your home, grass gives way to trees and then to bare rock.
Key takeaways
- The higher you go, the colder it gets, and the plants change with the height.
- Snow stays on the summit even in summer because it is very cold up there.
