2. Stack (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(geology)

   A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion. [1] Stacks are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology. [2]

3. Aeolian landform - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolian_landform

   Aeolian landforms, or Eolian landforms, are produced by either the erosive or depositive action of wind. These features may be built up from sand or snow , [ 1 ] or eroded into rock, snow, or ice. Aeolian landforms are commonly observed in sandy deserts and on frozen lakes or sea ice and have been observed and studied around Earth and on other ...

   Gully – Landform created by running water and/or mass movement eroding sharply into soil; Hill – Landform that extends above the surrounding terrain; Hillock, also known as Knoll – Small hill; Mesa – Elevated area of land with a flat top and sides, usually much wider than buttes; Mountain pass – Route through a mountain range or over ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolian_processes

   Wind erosion of soil at the foot of Chimborazo, Ecuador Rock carved by drifting sand below Fortification Rock in Arizona (Photo by Timothy H. O'Sullivan, USGS, 1871). Aeolian processes, also spelled eolian, [1] pertain to wind activity in the study of geology and weather and specifically to the wind's ability to shape the surface of the Earth (or other planets).

6. Rauk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rauk

   Rauks are usually formed by wave erosion. [1] [5] On Öland and Gotland, rauks are chiefly formed along or near the escarpment known as the Baltic Klint. [4] Gotland rauks consist of limestone representing reefs that existed in the Silurian period. [4] [5] [10] As waves batter against limestone cliffs, pre-existing vertical fractures begin to ...

7. Truncated spur - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_spur

   A truncated spur is a spur, which is a ridge that descends towards a valley floor or coastline from a higher elevation, that ends in an inverted-V face and was produced by the erosional truncation of the spur by the action of either streams, waves, or glaciers. Truncated spurs can be found within mountain ranges, along the walls of river ...

8. Landform - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landform

   A number of factors, ranging from plate tectonics to erosion and deposition (also due to human activity), can generate and affect landforms. Biological factors can also influence landforms—for example, note the role of vegetation in the development of dune systems and salt marshes, and the work of corals and algae in the formation of coral reefs.
