Study Notes
Unity
- Focuses on Earth's surface (geomorphology) and how rocks break down (erosion) and rebuild (sedimentation)
- Examines different landforms and how they change over time
- Explores how rocks break down due to weather (weathering), such as freeze-thaw, and how gravity moves rocks downhill (mass wasting)
- Discusses two key theories explaining landform development: the Davis and Penck cycles
Textbooks

Description
This quiz delves into the key concepts of geomorphology, focusing on the Earth's surface, erosion, and sedimentation. It explores how landforms change over time and the processes like weathering and mass wasting that influence these changes. Additionally, the quiz covers theories of landform development, examining the Davis and Penck cycles.
