Landforms and their Evolution

The outer part of the earth surrounded by the outer and upper mantle is called the lithosphere. It consists of several plates known as lithospheric plates. The plates move at regular intervals of several millimeters following the circular outgrowth of liquid magma inside the earth. As the lithospheric plates move, it causes changes in the world’s surface and leads to different landforms. The lithosphere plates are unpredictable and inflexible....

Running Water

Running water refers to the geomorphic agent which is mostly taken into account for the process of degradation of land surface. Running water can exist in different physical locations. from streams, rivers in valleys, or forms of overland flow on the general land surface in the form of a sheet....

Erosional Landforms

Following that are some of the major erosional landforms, which are part of the evolution of the landform:...

Depositional Landforms

Groundwater

In this part, we examine the job of groundwater in the disintegration of bodies of land and the development of landforms....

Glaciers

The term ice sheet comes from the French word “glace” important ice. A glacial mass is an enormous mass of ice moving as sheets. At the point when the ice sheets move over the land, it is known as a mainland icy mass, and in the event that a tremendous sheet of ice is spread over the fields at the foot of mountains, it is known as a Piedmont glacial mass. The mountain and valley glacial masses stream down the slants of mountains in an expansive box-like valley. The development of glacial masses is predominantly because of gravitational power. The development of ice sheets is slow, it very well may be a couple of centimeters to a couple of meters a day or even less or more....

Waves and Currents

Coastal processes refer to those dynamic and also most destructive. Changes that occur on the coast are because of the waves. The constant impact of the breaking of the waves would affect the coasts and the tsunami waves may cause far-reaching changes in a short span of time. The coastal landforms also depend on:...

Wind

The wind is one of the most important and main geomorphic agents in the case of arid areas. Winds cause deflation, and abrasion, and also impact  The drastic changes in the temperature lead to rocks that are without vegetation, and chemical and mechanical weathering....
