    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.
