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.
