    Study Notes

    Coastlines

    • A coastline is the boundary between the land and the sea
    • Formed by the interaction of geological processes, such as erosion, deposition, and tectonic activity
    • Characteristics:
      • Irregular shape due to the combination of different geological processes
      • Constantly changing due to erosion, deposition, and human activities
      • May have various features, such as:
        • Bays: a body of water partially enclosed by land
        • Headlands: a point of land that extends out into the sea
        • Cliffs: a steep rock face that forms part of the coastline
        • Beaches: a landform along a body of water, formed by the accumulation of sediment
        • Deltas: a landform that forms at the mouth of a river, where sediment is deposited

    Plateaus

    • A plateau is a region of elevated land that is relatively flat on top
    • Formed by a combination of geological processes, such as:
      • Volcanic activity: lava flows and volcanic eruptions can create a plateau
      • Erosion: the wearing away of the Earth's surface can create a plateau
      • Tectonic activity: the movement of the Earth's crust can create a plateau
    • Characteristics:
      • Elevated above the surrounding landscape
      • Relatively flat or gently sloping on top
      • May have various features, such as:
        • Mesas: a flat-topped plateau with steep sides
        • Buttes: a small, isolated plateau with steep sides
        • Canyons: a deep, narrow valley carved out by a river

    Valleys

    • A valley is a low area of land between hills or mountains
    • Formed by a combination of geological processes, such as:
      • Erosion: the wearing away of the Earth's surface by a river or glacier
      • Tectonic activity: the movement of the Earth's crust can create a valley
      • Volcanic activity: lava flows and volcanic eruptions can create a valley
    • Characteristics:
      • Low area of land between hills or mountains
      • May have various features, such as:
        • Rivers: a natural flowing body of water that flows through a valley
        • Glaciers: a slow-moving river of ice that forms in a valley
        • Waterfalls: a steep drop in a river's course, often forming a valley
