waves approach an irregular coastline Hydraulic Action - An erosion process - where air becomes trapped and compressed in a joint / crack in a rock by a breaking wave‚ gradually breaking rock apart. Abrasion - An erosion process where cliffs are worn away by rocks and boulders thrown against them by the waves Solution - An erosion process where acids in the sea water gradually dissolve minerals in rocks. Wave Pounding - An erosion process where the shear force of the waves constantly hitting

Geology 1203 Earth history Assignment: relative time Preamble: Understanding Earth history involves determining the sequence of geologic events which occurred over immense spans of time. The geological time scale that we use today was first developed in the 1800’s and is constantly being revised as our understanding improves. Geologists deal with time in two different ways: Relative Time - the occurrence of events is determined relative to one another (from oldest to most recent). This

Perito Moreno Glacier This report is based on the world-known Perito Moreno Glacier. The Perito Moreno Glacier is a well-acknowledged landscape and is a major tourist attraction in Argentina‚ it is one of the highlights of the Los Glacieres National Park. Remarkably‚ the Perito Moreno Glacier is included in the top 100 UNESCO World Heritage list for its great importance world-wide. Hopefully‚ this can inform you on how truly amazing the Perito Moreno Glacier is‚ and can encourage you to one day

EFFECTS OF SOIL EROSION IN THE PHILIPPINES Soil erosion is happening everywhere in this world. Especially near the water area and maybe it is happening below where we stand. One my grandparents told me‚ that one time when they were young a typhoon with its devastating rain hit manila. Because they were near river‚ because of the heavy rain without warning the soil beneath their home collapse and their home was wash away in the river. And it said to be the cause of the collapse of the soil

lower course? In the upper course of a river valley‚ vertical erosion is dominant. This makes the valley shallower than in the lower course. In the lower course of the river valley‚ lateral erosion is denominate. This makes the valleys much wider than the upper course. Erosion‚ Transportation & Deposition Erosion Erosion-the process of the river bed‚ sediment and valley being gradually worn away. There are four types of erosion: Hydraulic Action: The force of the water breaks down particles

[pic] Weathering: At the Earth’s surface‚ rocks are broken down; this is caused by rainwater‚ extremes of temperature‚ and biological activity. Weathering should not be confused with erosion‚ which involves the movement of rocks and minerals by agents such as water‚ ice‚ wind and gravity. There are three types of weathering: physical‚ chemical and biological. Physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks and soils through direct

These sediments are mostly generated from natural weathering‚ erosion or landslides or due to uncontrolled human activities like deforestation and haphazard development activities. When these heavy sediment laden rivers are used as source for irrigation they suffer from the sedimentation problem. The sediments that
