How erosion forms different landscapes

1. By Carol, Andrea, Paula and Merche

8. They are tall, flat-topped, steep-sided towers
of rock.

9. A long, narrow, elevated section of the earth‘s
surface, such as a chain of hills or mountains or
the divide between adjacent valleys.

11. The erosive action of the river
forms V shaped valleys

12. A waterfall is a
place where water
flows over a
vertical drop in the
course of
a stream or river

13. A meander, in general, is a bend in
a serpentine watercourse or river.

17. A canyon is a
deep narrow
valley with steep
tall sides

18. Rapids are areas of fast-
flowing water in a stream

21. A cliff is a
mass of
roch that
rises very
high and is
almost
vertical

22. It is formed by
hard rocks
because erosion
predominates.

23. In the low
coasts are
sandy because
sedimentation
predominates

24. Is a narrow, gently sloping
strip pf land that lies along
the adge of an ocean or sea.

25. Is a deposition bar or beach
landform off coast.

26. A tombolo is when an island
is attached to the mainland
by a piece of land.

27. Costal lagoons are sheltered by
sandbars as barrier islands.

29. Are layers of rock or
sediments that contain and
circulate groundwater.

35. Mineral depositions by water in caves,
and are usually calcareous.

40. Is a natural water source where there is a big slope
between a mountain area and a flat area. When it
suddently rains a lot, water flows through the
mountain and leaves sediments in the flat part.

42. Is a mass of glacial ice with more than
50,000 square kilometres

45. A cirque glacial is formed in a cirque, a
bowl-shaped depresion on the side of
the near mountains.

46. Is a a steep-sided valley cause by
glacial erosion.

47. Is a thin, almost knife-like,
ridge of rock which is
typically formed when
two glaciers erode
parallel U-shaped valleys

52. The size of coastal dunes depend on the
complex interaction between controlling
winds and sediments supply.
