Here is what one pupil thought!
They all look rather mountainous with exposed
rock and very steep slopes. I put these three
together I think!

These photos seemed to form another group
They both have flat areas which are kind of bumpy
but not seriously mountainous like the others?

This was the odd one out!

• This was the odd one out because it had water in
  running and that would have eroded the landscape
  in a different way to all the others!
• Do you agree with the pupils opinions?
