    have come and gone. As mountain ranges eroded‚ sediments many kilometres thick were laid down over vast areas. These sedimentary rocks were then subjected to folding‚ faulting and uplifting. Over time‚ the forces of weathering and erosion wore these down again. Erosion acts more quickly on softer rocks‚ forming valleys and bays. Harder rocks remain as mountains‚ hills and coastal

    Acid Rain and its Chemistry Acid rain is a type of pollution that is becoming a major threat to our planet and is need of attention. Acid rain has significantly increased ever since the industrial revolution‚ and now around the world‚ countries like Russia‚ China‚ and those in Europe are facing increasing levels of acidity in their rain. Not only is it becoming more acidic but it is also spreading by the pumping of sulfuric gasses deeper into the atmosphere from of the use of taller smokestacks

    combustion make it a primary air pollutant that is affecting the natural temperature of our atmosphere‚ bringing adverse effects with it. Nitrogen oxides are another example of primary air pollutants‚ involved in the creation of photochemical smog‚ acid deposition‚ and ozone depletion. Nitrogen oxides include nitrogen dioxide‚ nitric and nitrous acid. NO2 is of most concern; it is a highly reactive gas emitted from vehicles and power plants that also affects the respiratory system of sensitive people‚ such

    Biophysical Interactions The upland area of the Australian Alps is underlain by marine sediments. Then through denudation the area was worn down and dissected by different forms of weathering and erosion. Once the land was uplifted and exposed to the effects of weathering‚ the varying degrees of resistance to erosion offered by different rock types became important. Softer sedimentary rocks eroded far more quickly‚ leaving the more resistant rocks in the highest areas. Rivers and streams cut down through

    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 deposited nearest
