Study Notes
Denudation in Geography
- Denudation refers to the wearing away of the Earth's surface by natural forces, resulting in the removal of rock and soil.
Agents of Denudation
- The main agent of denudation is running water, including rivers, glaciers, and groundwater.
Processes of Denudation
- Examples of denudation processes include weathering, erosion, and transportation of rock debris.
Factors Influencing Denudation Rate
- The primary factor influencing the rate of denudation is relief (steepness of slopes).
Landforms and Denudation
- Waterfalls are not typically a result of denudation, as they are formed by the erosional action of running water.
