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
