Reconstructing Past Glacial Activity: Glacial landforms provide valuable evidence about the extent and behavior of past glaciers. By studying these landforms, scientists can reconstruct the history of ...

Wind causes waves to be produced in the water. These can cause erosion of the coast. Wind can also cause material to be transported, for example by longshore drift, which is where sediment moves along ...

Bands of soft rock such as clay and sand are weaker so therefore they can be eroded quickly. This process forms bays. A bay is an inlet of the sea where the land curves inwards, usually with a beach.

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Hi, I'm Shona. I'm the education and outreach manager at Geoscience Australia. Geoscience Australia ...

The Earth's land surface is dominated by sloping landscapes. Every year, soil erosion laterally distributes on the order of 75 Gt of topsoil (Berhe et al. 2007). The coupled biogeochemical cycles of ...

A reader from Germany alerted me to a cool image from the Terra satellite. This is from southern Iran and shows how they are dealing with the lack of fertile ground and water in this desert region.

Mention the word “delta,” and most people will think of an airline or a cinematic fraternity house before they think of the depositional landform found at the mouth of rivers. But, really, you should ...

The process and impact of rejuvenation is explored through the use of specific examples along with detailed graphics to explain the fluvial processes of erosion, transportation and deposition. ABC ...
