2. Deposition (geology) - Wikipedia

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

   The null point theory has been controversial in its acceptance into mainstream coastal science as the theory operates in dynamic equilibrium or unstable equilibrium, and many fields and laboratory observations have failed to replicate the state of a null point at each grain size throughout the profile. [3]

3. Cohesion (geology) - Wikipedia

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

   Cohesion is the component of shear strength of a rock or soil that is independent of interparticle friction. In soils, true cohesion is caused by following: Electrostatic forces in stiff overconsolidated clays (which may be lost through weathering) Cementing by Fe 2 O 3, Ca CO 3, Na Cl, etc. There can also be apparent cohesion. This is caused by:

4. GCSE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCSE

   For GCSE Science the old single-award ‘science’ and ‘additional science’ options are no longer available, being replaced with a double award ‘combined science’ option (graded on the scale 9–9 to 1–1 and equivalent to 2 GCSEs). Alternatively pupils can take separate qualifications in chemistry, biology and physics.

5. Adhesion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion

   (Cohesion refers to the tendency of similar or identical particles and surfaces to cling to one another.) The forces that cause adhesion and cohesion can be divided into several types. The intermolecular forces responsible for the function of various kinds of stickers and sticky tape fall into the categories of chemical adhesion , dispersive ...

   Badlands incised into shale at the foot of the North Caineville Plateau, Utah, within the pass carved by the Fremont River and known as the Blue Gate. G. K. Gilbert studied the landscapes of this area in great detail, forming the observational foundation for many of his studies on geomorphology. [1]

7. Five themes of geography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_themes_of_geography

   The themes were not a "new geography" but rather a conceptual structure for organizing information about geography. [1] The themes became widespread in American social science education and were used for teacher training by the National Geographic Society's statewide alliances.
