What makes up a landscape? ESRT p. 2 and 3 Topography and Composition Determined by: Climate Local Bedrock Geologic Structures Human Activities Most can be classified as: Mountains Plateaus Plains

Landscapes Mountains Plateaus Plains Greatest relief (difference between tallest and lowest elevation) Tectonic forces (convergent plate boundaries) push mountains up That’s why marine fossils can be found at the tops of mountains Plateaus Relatively flat Horizontal Bedrock Less relief than mountains, but more than plains Plains Least relief Generally low lands

Factors that affect Landscapes Arid Means dry Makes more angular landscape Steeper slopes Little humus Physical weathering dominates Little rainfall quickly erodes the land Humid Means wet Makes a more rolling landscape Thick layer of humus Lot of plant life Chemical weathering dominates

Drainage Patterns When water drains away, it takes on a particular pattern depending upon the landscape Flying over (like a bird) it would take on a particular pattern As tributaries join to form larger rivers, they take on a pattern 4 types of Drainage Patterns Dendritic Flat bedrock Annular Domed bedrock with upturned layers Radial Regular domed bedrock Trellis (or rectangular) Tilted strata Folded strata Faulted strata
