Land on the Earth

The earth is a huge ball, but it is not smooth all over like a ball that you bounce or roll. The earth’s surface is full of bumps and dips, but some parts of it are smooth. Where there’s no water, there is land.

Some of the earth’s surface is on the ocean floor. You live on one of the earth’s continents - or maybe on an island. You may live on a mountain, in a valley, on a plain, or in a desert.

Land is the solid surface of the Earth that is not permanently covered by water. The vast majority of human activity throughout history has occurred in land areas that support agriculture, habitat, and various natural resources. Some life forms, including terrestrial plants and terrestrial animals, have developed from predecessor species that originated in bodies of water.
