Key Idea 1: Different forces shaping landforms. Desert landforms – importance of water? Erosion and deposition. Earth movements?
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
