  2. Transport geography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_geography

    Transportation geography detects, describes, and explains the Earth's surface's transportation spaces regarding location, substance, form, function, and genesis. It also investigates the effects of transportation on land use, on the physical material patterns at the surface of the earth known as 'cover patterns', and on other spatial processes ...

  3. Mode of transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_of_transport

    Water transport is the process of transport that a watercraft, such as a bart, ship or sailboat, makes over a body of water, such as a sea, ocean, lake, canal, or river. If a boat or other vessel can successfully pass through a waterway it is known as a navigable waterway.

  4. Sediment transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sediment_transport

    These processes generally combine to give the hillslope a profile that looks like a solution to the diffusion equation, where the diffusivity is a parameter that relates to the ease of sediment transport on the particular hillslope. For this reason, the tops of hills generally have a parabolic concave-up profile, which grades into a convex-up ...

  5. Sediment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sediment

    Sediment is a solid material that is transported to a new location where it is deposited. [1] It occurs naturally and, through the processes of weathering and erosion, is broken down and subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

  6. Transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport

    Transport (in British English) or transportation (in American English) is the intentional movement of humans, animals, and goods from one location to another. Modes of transport include air , land ( rail and road ), water , cable , pipelines , and space .

  7. Land transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_transport

    Beyond transportation some land uses are more efficient when clustered. Transportation facilities consume land, and in cities, pavement (devoted to streets and parking) can easily exceed 20 percent of the total land use. An efficient transport system can reduce land waste.

  8. Denudation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denudation

    Denudation incorporates the mechanical, biological, and chemical processes of erosion, weathering, and mass wasting. Denudation can involve the removal of both solid particles and dissolved material. These include sub-processes of cryofracture, insolation weathering, slaking, salt weathering, bioturbation, and anthropogenic impacts. [4]

  9. Depositional environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depositional_environment

    A diagram of various depositional environments. In geology, depositional environment or sedimentary environment describes the combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes associated with the deposition of a particular type of sediment and, therefore, the rock types that will be formed after lithification, if the sediment is preserved in the rock record.
