A hill rises above the surrounding land but is shorter than a mountain. A peninsula is land that sticks out into a body of water. A tributary is a smaller branch of water that flows into a larger body like a river. A gulf or bay is partly surrounded by land within a sea or ocean. A valley is low land between hills or mountains. An ocean is one of the five largest bodies of salty water on Earth. A river is a long natural stream of water that flows through
