Waterfalls occur when rivers flow over areas with different rock types. Softer rock erodes faster than harder rock, creating a step over which water plunges as a waterfall. As erosion continues, water cuts away rock behind the waterfall, causing it to move back upstream and leave a gorge. Over time, this process eats away at the soft rock, undercutting the hard rock above and causing sections to collapse, further deepening the plunge pool.

It explains the changes that occur along a river's long profile from upper to middle to lower course, including differences in gradient, erosion processes and landforms. Specific features of the upper course like interlocking spurs and waterfalls are also outlined. The formation of meanders and oxbow lakes in the middle course through erosion and deposition is detailed.
Africa The Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley is a deep trench that runs through Africa formed around 35 million years ago by the splitting of the Earth's plates. It is approximately 3,600 miles long and ranges in width from 19 to 63 miles. The Rift Valley has mountains along its edges and contains many lakes. In the future, it may become flooded with water and form a new gulf or sea.

Fluvial/River Processes
Here are the key points about how isostatic changes have impacted the Irish landscape:
- Isostatic changes refer to vertical movements of the Earth's crust due to adjustments in land masses following the melting of ice sheets during glacial periods.
- During the last ice age, much of Ireland was depressed under thick ice sheets, weighing the land surface down. As the ice melted about 10,000 years ago, the land began to rise again in a process known as isostatic rebound.
- This caused rivers to be elevated above their original base levels. Many rivers underwent rejuvenation as they cut downwards, forming features like waterfalls, incised meanders and terraces along their courses as they

MASS WASTING
Kaijirsong Rongpi presented on mass wasting at Arya Vidyapeeth College. Mass wasting refers to the downslope movement of weathered rock debris through gravity. It was classified into three categories: very rapid movement requiring no water, slow movement requiring little water, and rapid movement requiring water. Causes included volcanoes, earthquakes, weathering and erosion, and ice wedging. The main types were falls, slides, and flows. Rock falls and rock avalanches were described as examples of falls, while rock slides and slumps were outlined as slides. Debris flows and earthflows were provided as examples of flows.

Tsunami
A tsunami is a series of waves generated by an underwater displacement of water, usually caused by earthquakes. Tsunamis are not single waves but rather a "wave train" consisting of multiple waves. They can be very destructive when reaching land, causing flooding and crushing coastal structures with fast-moving water. Proper warning systems and evacuation of low-lying areas can help reduce loss of life from these devastating natural disasters.

Braided channels
A braided channel consists of a network of smaller interconnected channels separated by small, temporary islands called eyots or braid bars. Braiding occurs when a river's sediment load and slope exceeds a threshold, causing deposition that divides the channel. This often happens after heavy rainfall, when discharge levels fluctuate. Braided channels are common where coarse sediments like sand and gravel are carried, such as in the wide, shallow valleys of rivers with little slope.
Stand still theory of murray
The Stand Still Theory proposed by Murray suggests that coral reefs form through the circular growth of coral polyps on submerged platforms and hills located at a suitable depth of 54-55 meters, with the outer edge growing rapidly to form ring-shaped reefs and atolls as the lagoon deepens over time through dissolution. However, this theory has been largely rejected due to a lack of evidence for the numerous platforms needed and inconsistencies with observed lagoon depths.
The work of rivers
The document discusses the three main functions of rivers: erosion, transportation, and deposition. It describes the four primary ways that rivers erode the landscape: abrasion, attrition, hydraulic action, and solution. It also outlines the four methods that rivers transport sediment: traction, saltation, suspension, and solution. Finally, it explains that rivers deposit their sediment loads when their volume or speed decreases, such as when entering a lake or plain with a gentler slope.

Mass movement lesson 9
Mass movements are the downslope movement of material under the direct influence of gravity. They are classified based on their rate of motion and the material involved. Major types include falling, sliding, flowing, and heaving. Factors that influence slope stability and failure include steep slope angles, weathering, water content, vegetation loss, slope dip, and trigger mechanisms such as earthquakes or heavy rainfall.
Coastal Processes And Landforms
This document discusses various coastal landforms and processes. It begins with defining terms related to waves and wave action. It then explains processes of marine erosion and how they can shape cliff coastlines and form wave-cut platforms. It describes how waves can transport and deposit sediment. Landforms like spits, bars, and salt marshes are discussed along with their formation. Finally, it covers coral reef types and theories about their formation, and how sea level changes can impact coral reefs.
Costal landforms
Coastlines are formed through erosion and sediment deposition processes. They are shaped by sea level changes and the interaction between land and ocean. A coastline includes beaches, cliffs, and other landforms at the boundary between land and sea. Coastal zones experience continuous change from tidal movements and ocean interactions with the shore. Erosional landforms like sea cliffs and arches form through destructive wave energy, while depositional landforms like beaches and barrier islands are built up from sediment deposition.
River Rejuvination
The document discusses several landforms that can result from river rejuvenation caused by a fall in sea level. Knick points form as steps where the river erodes downward to adjust to the new base level, and may create waterfalls. River terraces are abandoned floodplains left at higher levels after the river cuts down through deposits. Incised or enclosed meanders develop when the river maintains its meandering pattern while increasing vertical erosion.

Flood
Floods occur when water overflows or breaks levees and causes water to escape its usual boundaries. There are several principal types of floods including areal, riverine, estuarine, coastal, and catastrophic floods. Floods can cause primary effects like physical damage, secondary effects like diseases and food shortages, and long-term economic impacts. Flood control involves defenses like levees, reservoirs, and emergency measures. Major floods throughout history have caused massive loss of life.

Erosion and deposition
This document provides an overview of erosion, deposition, and the agents that cause them. It discusses:
- The three main processes of erosion: detachment of particles, lifting them, and transporting them to a new location. The main agents of erosion are water, wind, waves, ice, and gravity.
- How each agent causes erosion. Water is the most influential due to its ability to move large objects and wear away rock over time. Wind erodes in dry areas without vegetation. Waves relentlessly pound coastal areas. Ice plucks and abrades rock beneath glaciers.
- Deposition occurs when the transporting medium loses speed or particles increase in resistance, causing them to settle in a
Coastal land forms .erosional and depositional landforms
1) Coastal landforms are shaped by wave erosion and deposition. Waves erode cliffs and deposit sediment to form features like beaches, bars, and spits.
2) Erosional landforms include sea cliffs, arches, stacks, and caves which are carved out of rock by wave action. Depositional landforms are beaches, bars, barriers and hooks built up from sediment deposited by waves and currents.
3) Tides and currents influence coastal landforms by transporting sediment and changing the level and reach of wave energy along the shoreline.
Groundwater
The document discusses groundwater and the water cycle. It describes how (1) water moves among oceans, atmosphere, Earth and biosphere in the water cycle through processes like infiltration, transpiration and precipitation; (2) there is a balance in the water cycle as annual precipitation equals evaporation globally; and (3) groundwater is water located underground in the saturated zone below the water table, where it moves slowly through pores and fractures in rock and soil.
Aeolian Deposition.pptx
This document discusses aeolian depositional features and landforms formed by wind erosion and deposition. It begins by introducing aeolian processes and the different environments where they are common. It then describes how wind deposits sediment through sedimentation, accretion, and encroachment. Major landforms formed include sand dunes like barchans, seifs, parabolic, and star dunes. Sand sheets, loess, and sand ridges are also discussed. The document provides detailed descriptions of the formation and characteristics of these different aeolian features and landforms.
River Profiles
This document discusses river profiles, fluvial landforms, and river capture/stream piracy. It begins by outlining the learning objectives, which are processes of river transportation, river profiles (long and cross), fluvial landforms, and river abstraction/stream piracy. It then provides details on longitudinal and cross river profiles, including typical shapes and features. A number of fluvial landforms are described, such as meanders, waterfalls, levees, and deltas. The document concludes by explaining river capture/stream piracy, how watershed boundaries can shift due to unequal erosion rates on either side of a drainage divide.

Deltaic systems usmaan
This document is a presentation on deltaic systems given by UsMaan Sikandar to Professor Dr. Shahid Ghazi at the Institute of Geology at Punjab University Lahore. It introduces deltas and their classification, including fluvial, tide, wave, and mixed process dominated deltas. It describes the physiographic characteristics of deltas and provides examples of ancient and modern delta systems like the Indus River Delta. The presentation concludes that deltas provide important paleoclimate indicators and reservoirs for resources while noting characteristics of modern deltas can inform understanding of ancient formations.
Delta’s
Deltas form where rivers enter standing bodies of water and experience a drop in velocity, causing sediment deposition. Sediment is deposited in three layers - topset beds of larger particles, foreset beds of medium particles, and bottomset beds of finest particles. Delta shapes include arcuate, birds foot, and cuspate. The Nile Delta is an example of an arcuate delta with its curving shoreline. The Mississippi Delta resembles a birds foot with distributary fingers. The Ebro River Delta in Spain has a cuspate, tooth-like shape from opposing currents.

GROUP 3.pptx
V-shaped valleys form through strong stream erosion in mountainous areas. As streams rapidly flow down steep slopes, hydraulic action and abrasion cut deep notches into the landscape vertically, forming narrow valleys with steeply sloped sides resembling the letter V. Interlocking spurs are landforms that bulge out from mountain slopes, creating a winding path for rivers. They form as rivers erode softer surfaces to avoid harder rock, deepening into hills over time. Potholes are holes eroded into river beds when rock fragments are swirled around by eddying currents, with abrasion deepening small hollows over time and joining them together.

Waterfalls 2nd ppt
Rivers pass over a hard cap rock with softer rock below. As the river erodes the softer rock faster than the hard rock, it creates an overhang. The overhang eventually collapses, forming a steep-sided gorge and waterfall that retreats upstream through further erosion.
Ccea river landscapes and processes final
The document describes various landforms and processes associated with river systems. It discusses how rivers form V-shaped valleys through vertical erosion in their upper courses. It then describes how meanders form through lateral erosion, and how this can lead to ox-bow lakes and floodplains. Finally, it discusses depositional landforms like levees, deltas, and braided channels that form in the lower courses of rivers.
Features formed by a river
The document discusses features formed by rivers in different parts of their courses. It describes how waterfalls are formed in the upper course when a harder rock overlays a softer rock, causing the softer rock to erode away and form a ledge and plunge pool. In the middle course, features like meanders and slip-off slopes can form as the river energy decreases and causes deposition along banks into bends.
Meanders to ox bow db
Meanders form as rivers erode their outer banks and deposit sediment on the inner banks, causing the river channel to migrate sideways over time. As meanders grow closer together, the neck between them narrows. Eventually, during a flood the river erodes a new straighter channel, abandoning the curved section which becomes an ox-bow lake over time as it slowly fills with sediment.

Revise Rivers
The document discusses various river landforms and the geomorphic processes that form them. It describes landforms in the upper, middle, and lower course of a river's journey from source to mouth, including interlocking spurs, potholes, waterfalls, meanders, ox-bow lakes, levees, and deltas. It explains the erosion and depositional processes of abrasion, hydraulic action, attrition, solution, suspension, saltation, and traction that shape the river channel and valley over time.
River Erosion and its Associated fetures
This document discusses river landforms and processes. It begins with a longitudinal profile diagram showing how a river's gradient is steepest at the headwaters and gentlest near the base level. It also includes diagrams of drainage patterns and stream order. Common river features are described such as meanders, floodplains, levees, and the formation of ox-bow lakes. The four main methods of river erosion and three methods of sediment transportation are defined. River landforms like waterfalls and pot holes are also examined. The document concludes with descriptions of the different stages in river development from youth to maturity.
River Landform
Rivers have distinct features along their upper, middle, and lower courses. In the upper course, the river flows through a V-shaped valley with steep sides, eroding vertically. Meanders begin to form in the middle course as the river erodes more horizontally and widens the valley floor. In the lower course, the river flows through a wide, flat floodplain with features like oxbow lakes formed from abandoned meander loops.
River erosion
This document outlines key features of river erosion and river systems. It begins with a longitudinal profile diagram showing how a river's gradient is steepest at the headwaters and gentlest near the base level. It then discusses drainage patterns like dendritic and trellis. Common river features like meanders and waterfalls are also explained. The document covers the erosional work of rivers through processes like abrasion and hydraulic action. Methods of sediment transportation like suspension and traction are outlined. Stages in river development from youthful to mature to old age are also summarized.
Running water-Geomorhology Chapter
Running water is the primary agent of erosion on Earth's surface, though its role is limited in some glaciated and desert areas. Streams erode through processes like abrasion, attrition, solution, and hydraulic action. As they flow downhill, their kinetic energy is used to transport sediment in suspension, saltation, traction, or solution. When the stream's energy decreases, such as when entering flatter terrain, sediment is deposited in features like point bars, floodplains, levees, meanders, and deltas. Meanders may be cut off over time, forming oxbow lakes.
River landforms
Waterfalls form where a band of hard rock lies next to soft rock in the upper course of a river. As the river passes over the hard rock, the soft rock below erodes more quickly, undercutting the hard rock. Eventually the hard rock collapses, enlarging the plunge pool beneath through abrasion. As the waterfall retreats upstream through erosion, it forms a steep-walled gorge.
Meanders form as the river's gradient evens out. On the outer bend of a meander, faster flow causes greater erosion and deepening of the channel. On the inner bend, deposition occurs, building up a shallow area called a slip-off slope.

L3 ap upper course features
This document discusses river landforms in the upper course of a river. It begins by explaining that river landforms are shaped by the geology of an area and river processes. The dominant process in the upper course is erosion, which cuts down vertically to form a V-shaped valley. One landform discussed is interlocking spurs, which are areas of resistant rock that the river bends and winds around, leaving protruding areas of hard rock between indentations eroded into softer rock. Another landform is waterfalls and gorges, which form where there are bands of hard and soft rock. Waterfalls erode upstream over time, deepening plunge pools and forming steep rock walls of a gorge as the waterfall retreats

Rivers revision
The document describes how a river meander evolves over time through erosion and deposition, eventually cutting off to form an ox-bow lake. As the meander erodes the outside of bends and deposits sediment inside bends, its course changes shape until the neck of the meander is narrowed by erosion and cut through during a flood, allowing the river to flow in a new course and abandoning the old meander, which then seals off to form an ox-bow lake.
River 2 waterfall plungepools floodplain n levees
Waterfalls form over time as river water erodes less resistant rock more quickly than more resistant rock, causing the river gradient to change. This leads the river to plunge from a great height, forming a waterfall. Repeated pounding of the river bed at the base of waterfalls creates depressions known as plunge pools. Floodplains are formed along river banks during heavy rainfall as the river's energy decreases and deposits sediments, with coarser sediments accumulating into raised banks called levees and finer sediments creating flat plains further from the river.
Tvc fluvial processes
Here are some suggestions for how to represent the river processes visually using diagrams:
Solution - Draw water droplets with dissolved minerals
Suspension - Draw particles floating in the water current
Saltation - Draw particles bouncing along the river bed
Traction - Draw larger particles being rolled along the river bed
You could also draw:
Erosion - Show particles being scraped from the river bed/banks
Transportation - Arrows showing movement of particles downstream
Deposition - Build up of particles settling out of the water
Landforms - Simple sketches of meanders, ox-bow lakes, deltas etc.
Let me know if any of these ideas are helpful or if you need any other suggestions!

Yardie box office
Yardie, Idris Elba's directorial debut film, underperformed at the box office despite a marketing campaign that prominently featured Elba. The film earned $1.5 million globally across three territories, failing to grow beyond its initial 225 theater release in the UK. While the marketing utilized Elba's star power through media appearances and social media, his limited on-screen role and absence from the main poster may have reduced its appeal. The film's focus on black British characters and use of Jamaican patois could also have presented barriers to broader commercial success.

It has 15 members, including 5 permanent members with veto power, and determines actions in response to threats to peace such as sanctions, peacekeeping missions, or authorizing military action as a last resort. The effectiveness of the UN Security Council is mixed, as interventions have had failures like in Somalia but successes such as stabilizing Sierra Leone.
The united nations security council
This document provides teaching resources on the United Nations Security Council for a GCSE Government and Politics course. It includes two activities for students: 1) analyzing the UN's role in the Rwandan genocide through the film Hotel Rwanda, and 2) taking on the role of a UN official tasked with recommending actions in response to a rogue nuclear state. Background information, instructions, and guidance are provided for teachers to implement both activities in the classroom.
Nato
NATO was established in 1949 by 12 North American and European countries to deter Soviet expansionism following World War 2. It has since grown to 28 member countries. NATO aims to safeguard members' freedom and security through both political and military means, including responding militarily if another member is attacked. Notable NATO missions have included operations in Afghanistan and Kosovo, as well as air policing and counter-piracy operations. While primarily a military alliance, NATO also uses non-military programs like the Partnership for Peace to build cooperation.
Migration
The document discusses migration, which refers to the movement of people between places. There are various factors that influence migration, including economic, social, political, and environmental push factors that compel people to leave their home countries, as well as pull factors that attract people to other locations. Common push factors include war, persecution, poverty, and natural disasters, while pull factors include job opportunities, stability, freedom, and better living conditions. The document examines different types of migrants like refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced people, and economic migrants, and the challenges around migration faced by governments and organizations.
Additional un nato
The document provides additional examples of actions taken by the United Nations (UN) and NATO to resolve conflicts. It summarizes UN involvement in the Rwandan genocide and civil war in Liberia, noting the UN failed to prevent mass killings in Rwanda but helped bring peace to Liberia after sending peacekeepers. NATO actions in Afghanistan and against ISIS in Iraq and Syria aimed to combat terrorism but had mixed results, defeating opponents militarily but failing to fully establish stability.

It aims to protect nine characteristics: age, disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, race, religion/belief, and sex. The Commission works to ensure public bodies promote equal opportunities and do not discriminate based on the nine protected characteristics. It provides information, advice, research, and enforcement to promote equality and challenge inequality in Northern Ireland. The Commission publishes annual reviews evaluating its effectiveness, detailing activities undertaken and progress made towards its targets in areas like championing equality, challenging inequalities, and applying equality law.

Students are told to summarize their findings in an illustrated presentation and identify conventions that will influence their original social media posts. They are to develop a longlist of at least 20 planned posts over 2 months including fan interaction and a proposed viral contest. Examples of past successful student projects are provided for inspiration.

- 6. How are waterfalls formed? Copy out the paragraph below and insert the missing words from the word bank. Waterfalls occur when RIVERS flow over different types of ROCK. The SOFT rock wears away faster than the HARD rock. In time a step develops over which the river PLUNGES as a waterfall. WATER also cuts away rock behind the WATERFALL. This causes the falls to move back and leave a GORGE as it goes.
- 7. How are waterfalls formed? The hard rock collapses into the plunge pool to be broken up and washed away by the river. The position of the falls moves back. Falling water and rock particles or boulders loosen and wear away the softer rock. Erosion continues and the waterfall slowly eats its way upstream leaving a gorge behind. The hard rock above is undercut as erosion of the soft rock continues. The diagrams below have been given the wrong labels. Can you figure out which description matches each diagram?
