       One unique land formation we have here on 

our Earth is a volcano, which is a mountain that 

opens up into a pool of lava. When pressure from 

this heat and lava builds up, eruptions occur. 

Volcanoes are formed from the molten rock 

pushing its way up through Earth's surface and 

over time through the explosions, they get bigger 

and bigger. An example of a volcano is Kilauea in 

Hawaii, which is one of the worlds most active 

volcanoes. 

     Another example of a land formation is an 

island, which is an area of land not connected to 

a bigger area of land and surrounded by water. 

They are formed when the rising sea cuts off a 

piece of land that connected it to the continent. 

Many people do not know that Greenland is 

actually an island, and it's the largest one in the 

world. The picture to the right is of the island 

Madagascar.  

       A cavern is also an example of an earth land 

formation. Caverns form in rocks over millions of 

years when water seeps through the cracks in 

the rocks. Many different animals live in caves 

like bats, spiders, and sometimes even bears 

hang out in them. The deepest cave in The U.S. 

is the Kazumura Cave in Hawaii. It is 40 miles 

deep. 

        An example of a freshwater formation is a 

glacier, which form in bodies of water over many 

years due to snow and ice building up faster than 

it is removed. Glaciers are constantly moving 

through the water due to their slope and gravity. 

Scientists study glaciers to keep track of the 

earth's climate.
