Formation of Rocks The three main ways rocks are formed: • Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediment: for example‚ sand on a beach or mud on a river bed. As the sediment is buried it is compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediment will become so dense that it is essentially rock. This process is known as lithification. • Igneous rocks are rocks which have crystallized from a melt or magma. The melt is made up of various components

BRANCHES OF GEOGRAPHY (BASED ON SYSTEMATIC APPROACH) 1. Physical Geography (i) Geomorphology Is devoted to the study of landforms‚ their evolution and related processes. (ii) Climatology Encompasses the study of structure of atmosphere and elements of weather and climates and climatic types and regions. (iii) Hydrology Studies the realm of water over the surface of the earth including oceans‚ lakes‚ rivers and other water bodies and its effect on different life forms including human life

The form of primary production input to the surf zone‚ the water movement pattern‚ and the geomorphology of the sandy beach (Robertson & Lenanton‚ 1984). Fish such as anchovies‚ herrings and mullets often inhabits surf zones

Tankwa Karoo National Park (Northern Cape) In 1986 the Tankwa Karoo National Park (TKNP)‚ situated within the Succulent Karoo‚ was acknowledged as a national park (Bester et al.‚ 2012; Rubin‚ 1998; Van der Merwe et al.‚ 2015). It is therefore seen as a youngster amongst South Africa’s other National Parks (Bester et al.‚ 2012). The vision of the TKNP is to “endeavour towards the conservation of the TKNP through the integrated‚ effective and adaptive management of ecological systems‚ cultural heritage

They are partially enclosed coastal body of water which is either permanently or periodically open to the sea and within which there is measurable variation of salinity due to the mixture of seawater with freshwater
