EXTERNAL GEOLOGICAL PROCESSES - Coggle Diagram

- - - - wind doesn´t move
        
        solid rock
        
        large fragments
    - - plants and their parts decrease wind speed
        
        making erosion difficult to occur
  - - - by impact of sand
        
        carried by the wind
      - formed by many small hollows
    - - by sweeping effect
        
        of deflation on desert surface
    - - caused by
        
        wind shapes isolated boulders
  - - - Whe the material transported by the wind crashes into rocks, its impact and friction on rock polishes and wears away at them, this is abrasion
    - - process where the wind detaches and removes loose particles from the surface of the Earth
  - - - mound of sand
      - transported by wind
      - dynamic landforms
        
        always changing
    - - extensive deposit
        
        fine-grained particulate
      - from dust storms
- - - - Material sticked to ice
      - lost material and fragments pulled out
    - - rock fragments stucked in the ice
      - rock can be polished
      - striations and grooves
  - - - at high elevations
      - confined by mountain ranges
    - - at polar regions
      - not confined by topography
  - - - erosion / deposition
      - by
    - - Arete
      - Lake
      - Glacial Polish / Grooves / Striations
      - Horn
      - Hanging Valley
      - U-Shaped Valley
  - - - thick mass of ice that moves over land
    - - large piece of ice thah has been broken of a glacier and fallen into a lake or sea
  - - - material carried by glacier
      - sediment it has deposited
      - depending on the deposited material
        
        terminal
        
        lateral
        
        medial
      - when to ice tongue meets and lateral moraines are joined
  - - - lowest section
      - ice melted
      - material deposited
    - - channel
      - ice descends
      - called ice tongue
    - - uppermost section
      - rounded shape
      - snow accum. / transformed into ice
- - - - horizontal areas of rock
      - near foot or cliffs
    - - vertical masses of rock
      - separate land and sea
    - - cracks and weaker zones
    - - no connected to mainland
      - remains of headlands
    - - rugged coastlines
      - hard and soft rock
  - - - makes the particle rounder and smaller
      - drag material
      - continuous movement
    - - pulles material along coastline
      - because direction of wind and waves
  - - - action of wind
      - water´s surface
      - crest/ through
    - - oscillations in the sea level
      - gravitational force of the moon and sun on the water
      - two periods
        
        6h between them
        
        high/low tide
  - - - seastack to mainland, connect
      - deposits
    - - salt water+fresh water
    - - deposits, form mouth of rivers
    - - deposists of sand along coastline
    - - sandbars attached to mainland
    - - sand deposits in elongated islands
      - action of longshore drift
    - - water separated by a sandbar
