Aeolian features form in areas where wind is the primary source of erosion. The particles deposited are of sand‚ silt and clay size. The particles are entrained in by one of four processes. Creep occurs when a particle rolls or slides across the surface. Lift occurs when a particle rises off the surface due to the

WAVES When people think of waves they may think of a nice vacation or maybe a storm. Most people may not think about what causes waves or how waves can get so tall and powerful. In addition‚ people may not think about how tides are formed. The movement of waves includes information about how waves form‚ how they move‚ what happens when waves interact‚ and some of the effects of waves. When people visit a beach‚ they might realize the daily rise and fall of the water‚ or how high and low

The geography of mexico is also diverse in its climate‚ landforms‚ natural resources‚ and agriculture. The climate in the southern part of the united states is very similar to those in mexico. The altitude also affects the determining climate. Dorling kindersley announced that mexico was a very “warm country” considered being referred often (kindersley 77).Mexico city has a warm and sunny climate. It’s not too hot

LO2 a) Erosion Moving masses of ice (glaciers) cause erosion‚ and as a result change landscapes dramatically. There are 3 processes that cause direct glacial erosion: o Abrasion o Crushing o Plucking Meltwater erosion is an indirect process of erosion. Abrasion Rock fragments at the base of the glacier grind against the bedrock wearing down it’s surface. As a result‚ the surface becomes smooth. These smoothed bedrock surfaces are called striations. Fine silt particles are formed‚ called rock flour

material along the shore‚ which eventually builds up over time to form a beach. This occurs when the swash is stronger than the backwash‚ depositing more sediment than it transports elsewhere. Although beaches are a landform of deposition‚ they can also be considered to be a landform of erosion. When waves are huge and high‚ the backwash is more powerful than the swash‚ removing more loose material than it deposits. These types of waves are known as destructive waves. The smallest particles are

National Park Writing Assignment The national park that I picked is Fundy national park located in New Brunswick. It is part of the Atlantic Maritime ecozone which consists of the Appalachians region and the coastal plains. I chose to represent the Appalachians region on my poster and represented the four seasons (spring‚ summer‚ fall and winter). The climate in this region is cooler summers and warmer winters and a lot of precipitation. The vegetation in the Atlantic

biomes in Australia: Tropical Savanna Desert Human Interactions Climate change impacts are expected to have significant social‚ economic and environmental consequences worldwide. Ongoing population growth and development in highly urbanized coastal areas will make worse the predicted impacts on the coasts. Climate The southern part of the state has a Mediterranean climate. South Australia ’s main temperature range is 29 °C (84 °F) in January and 15 °C (59 °F) in July. (Wikipedia‚ 2014)

To appreciate the large and intricate city‚ it is valuable to know the climate‚ vegetation‚ soils‚ landforms‚ and the environmental issues that are present in Dallas‚ and see how they affect one another. The temperature during the summer months may be “bigger” or higher than your typical state‚ but exploring deeper into Dallas’s physical geography‚ will

Marine Biome (salt water) Did you know that the ocean is the largest biome in the world? In this paper I will tell you all about the Marine Biome‚ I will tell you about the weather‚ major landforms‚ sea creatures and more. This biome is all connected. The ocean is surrounding all of your coastal states in your country. I selected this biome because I enjoy all of the coral reefs and the creatures that make it their home. In the next paragraph I will tell you about the weather of this biome

The geology of the study area consists of parallel coastal ridges composed of aeolionites and paleosols along the recent coast line‚ which can be used as indicator of former shore lines.
