EXTERNAL GEOLOGICAL PROCESSES
ICE
Depositional landform
Glacial landforms
2 erossion processes
Plucking
Abrasion
Types of glacier
Alpine glaciers
Continental glaciers
Glacier
Thick mass of ice that moves over land
Iceberg
Large piece of ice that has broken off a glacier and fallen into a lake or the sea
Part of the alpine glacier
The cirque
The glacial valley
The terminal zone
WIND
2 conditions for erosion
Presence of loose material
Absence of vegetation
Erosional landforms
Mushroom rocks
Desert pavement
Honeycombs
Deflation
Is a process in which the wind detaches and removes loose particles from the surface of the earth.
Abrasion
Is a process in which the material transported by the wind in the deflation process, crashes into the rocks and the impact and friction of this material on rocks, polishes and wears away at them
Depositional landforms
Dune
Loess
SEA
Two water movements causing erosion
Tides
Waves
Landforms caused by erosion
Wave-cut platforms
Seastacks
Natural bridges
Cliffs
Headlands and bays
2 methods for transport of eroded material
Waves
Longshore drift
Landform caused by deposition
Tombolos
Marshes
Deltas
Beaches
Spits
Lagoons
Sandbars
