Processes that FORM and SHAPE Landforms

What forms landforms? There are 4 ways tectonic plates move to form landforms... 1.Converge 2.Diverge 3.Subduction 4.Fold Tectonic Plates! Where are tectonic plates found? -INSIDE the earth -UNDERGROUND -INTERNAL

Converge

Divergence

What’s happening to the Red Sea?

Subduction

What shapes landforms? Weathering and Erosion! Where does weathering and erosion occur? ABOVE ground On the land EXTERNAL

What does weathering mean? Weathering breaks landforms down… 1. Mechanical/Physical:

Weathering breaks landforms down…

Weathering 2. Chemical

Erosion What does erosion mean? Carries away parts of the landform!
