    Study Notes

    Erosion and Landforms

    • Abrasion: Erosive action of waves on coastlines.
    • Alluvial fan: Landform created by deposition of sediment where river velocity decreases.
    • Accumulation: Deposition of eroded material where external forces weaken.
    • Alluvial plain: Flat area alongside rivers formed by sediment deposited.
    • Valley: Glacial valley shaped in a U-shape by the glacier's movement.
    • Sinkholes: Depressions formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks (like limestone).
    • Deltas: Triangular landforms created at the mouth of rivers where they meet the sea.
    • Sand dunes: Mound-like formations created by wind deposition of sand.
    • Erosion: The wearing and removal of rock or soil.
    • Coastal erosion: Erosion by waves, currents, and storms.
    • Glacial erosion: Abrasion and plucking by glaciers.
    • Eolian erosion: Wind-driven erosion.
    • Karstic topography (Karst): Landforms created by the dissolution of soluble rocks, such as limestone; characterized by caves, sinkholes, and disappearing streams.
    • Canyons: Deep, narrow valleys with steep sides typically carved by rivers.
    • Cliffs: Steep, vertical rock faces created by erosion.
    • Gorges: Deep, narrow valleys with steep sides typically carved by rivers.
    • Ravines (gullies): Narrow, steep-sided valleys cut by running water.
    • Solution valleys (valleys formed by chemical weathering): Valleys that have been formed by the chemical dissolution of rocks.

    Caves and Karst Landscapes

    • Cave: Underground cavity in rock, often formed by water erosion.
    • Stalactites: Icicle-shaped formations hanging from cave ceilings.
    • Stalactites: Icicle-shaped formations hanging from cave ceilings.
    • Stalagmites: Cone-shaped formations growing upward from cave floors.
    • Speleology: The study of caves.
    • Snowline: The altitude above which snow accumulation is more rapid than melting.
