oasis depressions‚ gravel-covered plains‚ plateaus‚ and mountains‚ sand sheets‚ dunes and sand seas. Sand sheets and dunes cover over 25 percent of the Sahara’s surface. The most common types of dunes include tied dunes‚ blowout dunes‚ and transverse dunes. Within the Sahara are several pyramidal dunes that reach over 500 feet in height while others reach over 1‚000 feet. Researchers have for many years tried to figure out how these dunes were formed‚ but the case remains unsolved. The boundaries

Section A - Restless Earth The earth’s structure At the centre of the earth is the core. Surrounding that is a mass of molten rock called the mantle. The thin layer on the outside is called the crust. There are two types of crust‚ continental and oceanic. The crust is made up of seven major plates and many smaller ones. The plates move due to convection currents rising in the mantle. Distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes Mainly found along plate boundaries. In

Introduction A forest is an area of land with many trees. Many animals need forests to live and survive. Forests are very important and grow all over the world. Many forests are being cut down for houses to be built because of overpopulation. This cutting down of forests is called deforestation and it is causing damage to the natural habitat of animals.

ironstone in the sandstones. To summarize the information above the iron oxide determines the shape ( balls‚ spheres‚ and discs)‚ size ‚ and thickness. The grains shape forms when the grain flows like an avalanche and the grains of sands slump down to the bottom of the dunes. Now let’s talk about the porosity and the permeabilities ( Revolvy‚(.n.d). The porosity can come vertical or horizontal in conductions. However‚ permeabilities is water at 100% from the lower middle of the formation to the top
