A mountain from bottom to top

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

  1. The snowy summit: rock and ice at the very top
  2. The alpine meadow: short grass above the trees
  3. The conifer belt: dark pointed trees on the lower slopes
  4. 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.
