Major landforms include mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, beaches, and sand dunes. Mountains are significant second-order landforms that rise abruptly from surrounding areas. There are four main types of mountains: fold mountains formed by collision of tectonic plates; fault-block mountains formed by tension or compression breaking the earth's crust; volcanic mountains formed by eruption of magma; and residual mountains formed by erosion leaving resistant areas protruding. Plateaus are elevated uplands with extensive level surfaces and steep edges, such as the Tibetan Plateau formed by crustal shortening. Plains are low-lying areas that may be level, undulating, or have low hills, and form through various geological processes.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. A mountain can be defined as an area of land that rises abruptly from the surrounding region. Mountains are significant relief features of the second
order on the earth surface.
First-order landforms :Con=nents Oceans
Second-order landforms: Mountains Plateaus Plains
Third-order landforms: Valleys Beaches Sand dunes
Classifica(on of Mountains: On the basis of origin
1. Fold Mountains
Fold Mountains are formed when two plates collide with each other and their edges crumbled, much the same way as a piece of paper folds when
pushed together. The upward folds are known as an=clines, and the downward folds are synclines. Examples of Fold Mountains include: Himalayan
Mountains in Asia, the Alps in Europe, the Andes in South America, the Rockies in North America, and the Urals in Russia etc.
Mountains
3. 1. Symmetrical: A fold in which two limbs are mirror images of each other.
2. Asymmetrical: A fold in which one limb dipsmore steeply than the other. It has irregular and unequal limbs.
3. Isoclinal:A fold in which two limbs are parallel
4. Recumbent: An overturned fold in which axial plane is virtually horizontal.
5. In extreme cases fracture may occur in the crust, so that upper part of the recumbent fold slides forward
over the lower part along the thrust plane, forming an overthrust fold, and over riding por=on is termed as
NAPPE.
4. 2. Fault-Block Mountains
When the earth crust bends folding occurs and when it cracks faul=ng takes place. Faul=ng may be caused by
tension or compression.
Earth movements generate tensional forces that tend to pull the crust apart and faults are developed. This may
also cause some blocks to rise and other blocks in the centre to subside. The upstanding block becomes horst
or block mountain with steep sides and level summit while the subsided por=on become the graben or riW
valley. e.g. the Vosges and Black Forest of the Rhineland, African RiW Valley system in East Africa.
6. 3. Volcanic Mountains
They are formed when molten rock (magma) deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface. When the ash
and lava cools, it builds a cone of rock.
Examples of volcanic mountains include: Mount St. Helens in North America, Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines,
Mount Kea and Mount Loa in Hawaii and mount Fujiyama in Japan
4. Residual Mountains
These are mountains Evolved by denuda=on where the general level of the land has been lowered by the agents of
denuda=on. Some very resistant Areas May remainAnd these form residual mountains. Residual mountains may also
evolve from plateau which have been dissected by rivers into hills and valleys. Examples Vindhyachal ranges, Aravallis,
Satpura etc.
Diagram
7. Plateau are elevated upland with extensive level surfaces with steep edges. Also called as tableland.
Plateau
8. The Yellowstone Plateau in the United States, the Massif Central in France, and the Ethiopian Plateau in Africa
are prominent examples of thermal expansion.
Tibetan Plateau is an example of crustal shortening. It is intermont plateau between the Himalayas and the kunlun mt.
Deccan Traps/ Deccan plateau is an example of Volcanic plateau. The volcanic eruptions that produce lava plateaus
tend to be associated with hot spots. For example, the basalts of the Deccan Traps, which cover the Deccan plateau in
India, were erupted 60–65 million years ago when India lay in the Southern Hemisphere, probably over the same hot
spot that presently underlies the volcanic island of Reunion.
9. Dissected Plateau
Through continuous process of weathering and erosion plateaus are gradually worn down, surface made irregular and deep
valleys are formed in the plateau. Such plateau are termed as Dissected Plateau.
Mesas are generally found in arid regions with horizontal layers of sedimentary rock that makes up the cliffs. The top of the
mesa is called the caprock, this upper layer is often harder and more resistant to weathering or erosion.
Buttes generally still have the caprock intact, but eventually this also begins to wear away so that you might see buttes with
more rounded or pointed tops.
10. Plain is an area of lowland, either level or undulating. There may be low hills which will give it a typical rolling topography.
Rolling topography is any land formation that is not high enough to be considered a mountain. Rolling topography is
formed by erosion or some other force in nature like glaciers.
Types of plains:
1. Structural Plains: Structurally depressed, make up natural lowlands. Formed by horizontally bedded rocks relatively
undisturbed by crustal movements of earth. Examples Great Plains of USA, central lowlands of Australia.
2. Depositional Plains: alluvial plains, flood plains by rivers, outwash plain by glaciers, coastal plains by waves, loess plain by
winds e.g. Pampas in Argentina.
3. Erosional Plains: peneplains by rivers with monadnocks, peneplains by winds with inselberg. They are low, undulating, gentle
sloping plains.
