  2. Geomorphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomorphology

    Earth's surface is modified by a combination of surface processes that shape landscapes, and geologic processes that cause tectonic uplift and subsidence, and shape the coastal geography. Surface processes comprise the action of water, wind, ice, wildfire, and life on the surface of the Earth, along with chemical reactions that form soils and ...

  4. Climatic geomorphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_geomorphology

    Atolls like Atafu in Tokelau in the Pacific Ocean are landforms associated to tropical climate. No atoll exists outside the tropics. Climatic geomorphology is the study of the role of climate in shaping landforms and the earth-surface processes. [1] An approach used in climatic geomorphology is to study relict landforms to infer ancient ...

  5. 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]

  6. Degradation (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    In geology, degradation refers to the lowering of a fluvial surface, such as a stream bed or floodplain, through erosional processes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Degradation is the opposite of aggradation . Degradation is characteristic of channel networks in which either bedrock erosion is taking place, or in systems that are sediment -starved and are ...

  7. Metamorphic facies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphic_facies

    The boundaries between facies (and corresponding areas on the temperature v. pressure graph) are wide because they are gradational and approximate. [1] The area on the graph corresponding to rock formation at the lowest values of temperature and pressure is the range of formation of sedimentary rocks , as opposed to metamorphic rocks, in a ...

  8. Aggradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggradation

    Schematic of sediment accumulation (aggradation) in a river channel. The sediment is brown. The river is flowing on bedrock in the upper image, but because sediment was deposited over time the riverbed has risen.

  9. Cycle of erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_of_erosion

    The geographic cycle, or cycle of erosion, is an idealized model that explains the development of relief in landscapes. [1] The model starts with the erosion that follows uplift of land above a base level and ends, if conditions allow, in the formation of a peneplain. [1]
