Desert landforms – importance of water?

Erosion and deposition.

Earth movements?

Key Idea 1: Different forces shaping landforms.

sandstorm

Depositional landform.

Changing processes as (desert) climate changes.

Landform modification occurs

Landforms of glacial erosion – upland

Impressive features if rocks resistant

Pre-existing landforms?

Weathering?

Transport?

Erosion?

Features of a Glacial lowland – deposition.

See pre and post glacial structures and altered landforms!

Coastal erosion

Time: headland to cave to arch to stack.

Longshore drift

Depositional feature – a spit

Importance of wind and waves

Glaciation meets coasts

Glaciers erode below base level (out to sea)

Sea level rises after ice melts

Post glacial uplift

Isostatic recovery
