Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up a lake and a pond. Both are water with land all around, but a lake is much bigger than a pond. Ponds are small and shallow.
• Thinking a river and a stream are the same. A stream is a small flow of water, while a river is long, wide, and often flows into an ocean or lake.
• Confusing an island with a peninsula. An island has water on all sides, but a peninsula has water on only three sides and land on one side.
