It is a common phenomenon occurring mostly in flat, bare areas; dry, sandy soils; or anywhere the soil is loose, dry, and finely granulated.
What is wind erosion
100
a small, narrow river.
What is a stream
100
dynamic processes at work in the earth's landforms and surfaces. The mechanisms involved, weathering, erosion, and plate tectonics, combine processes that are in some respects destructive and in others constructive. Erosion.
What is a geological process
100
is a type of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief, usually using contour lines, but historically using a variety of methods.
What is a Topographic map
100
a line on a map joining points of equal height above or below sea level.
What is a contour line
200
the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents.
What is erosion
200
the outline of a coast, especially with regard to its shape and appearance.
What is a coastline
200
the process by which rock is broken down, such as erosion and weathering either through the violent actions of volcanoes and earthquakes or by the steady flow of a river.
What is a destructive process
200
often include much of the same data found on a political map, but their primary purpose is to show landforms like deserts, mountains and plains. Their topography style presents an overall better picture of the local terrain.
What is a physical map
200
A large long lasting accumulation of snow and ice that develops on land.
What is a Glaciers Gradients
300
is what happens when rocks are broken down and chemically altered including hydrolysis, oxidation, carbonation, acid rain and acids produced by lichens.
What is chemical erosion
300
an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a river, formed mainly of river sediments and subject to flooding.
What is a floodplains
300
helping to improve; promoting further development or advancement
What is a constructive process
300
distortions owing to camera tilt and ground relief have been removed. An orthophoto has the same scale throughout and can be used as a map.
What is Aerial Map
300
all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.
What is a Hydrosphere
400
the erosion or breakdown of rock into smaller fragments by natural physical agents with no chemicals involved; also called disintegration.
What is mechanical erosion
400
a natural feature of the earth's surface.
What is a landform
400
examples of a geological process
Cliff erosion, a volcanic eruption, or sedimentation at a mouth of a river are examples of these geological processes.
400
what does a topographical map show
show features on the ground, both manmade and natural.
400
the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
What is a Lithosphere
500
on a hill everything will slide down to the bottom.
What is elevation erosion
500
examples of a landforms
deltas, glaciers,plains, streams, butte, valley, depression, canyons, mountains)
500
example of a constitutive process
What is are changes that add to the surface of the Earth, and some of them take millions of years to occur. ... Another example is the deposition of sediment at the mouth of a river.

what does a aerial map show
Aerial photography is used in cartography, land-use planning, archaeology,movie production, environmental studies,power line inspection, surveillance, commercial advertising, conveyancing, and artistic projects.
500
a hypothetical supercontinent that included all current land masses, believed to have been in existence before the continents broke apart during the Triassic and Jurassic Periods.
