  2. Denudation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denudation

    Denudation has a large impact on karst and landscape evolution because the most-rapid changes to landscapes occur when there are changes to subterranean structures. [36] Other research includes effects on denudation rates; this research is mostly studying how climate [37] and vegetation [38] impact denudation.

  3. Soil erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_erosion

    Soil erosion is the denudation or wearing away of the upper layer of soil. It is a form of soil degradation . This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water , ice (glaciers), snow , air (wind), plants , and animals (including humans ).

  4. Denudation chronology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denudation_chronology

    Denudation chronology is the study of the long-term evolution of topography seen as sequence. Denudation chronology revolves around episodes of landscape-wide erosion , better known as denudation . The cycle of erosion model is a common approach used to establish denudation chronologies.

  5. Peneplain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peneplain

    The existence of some peneplains, and peneplanation as a process in nature, is not without controversy, due to a lack of contemporary examples and uncertainty in identifying relic examples. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] By some definitions, peneplains grade down to a base level represented by sea level , yet in other definitions such a condition is ignored. [ 4 ]

  6. Exhumation (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    Exhumation by tectonic processes refers to any geological mechanism that brings rocks from deeper crustal levels to shallower crustal levels. While erosion or denudation is fundamental in eventually exposing these deeper rocks at the Earth's surface, the geological phenomenon that drive the rocks to shallower crust are still considered exhumation processes.

  8. Geomorphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomorphology

    Denudation of these high uplifted regions produces sediment that is transported and deposited elsewhere within the landscape or off the coast. [3] On progressively smaller scales, similar ideas apply, where individual landforms evolve in response to the balance of additive processes (uplift and deposition) and subtractive processes ( subsidence ...

  9. Tectonic uplift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectonic_uplift

    Tectonic uplift results in denudation (processes that wear away the earth's surface) by raising buried rocks closer to the surface. This process can redistribute large loads from an elevated region to a topographically lower area as well – thus promoting an isostatic response in the region of denudation (which can cause local bedrock uplift).
