The river erosion processes involved in the formation of waterfalls are hydraulic action‚ abrasion and solution. Hydraulic action is the force of moving water on the land. Fast flowing water forces out looses rock and soil from the river bed and bank. Soft rock is eroded faster than hard rock (differential erosion) and overtime the bank will collapse. Abrasion is the wearing away of the river bed by its load. Stones carried by the river smooth the river channel deepening & widening it. Solution

sedimentary‚ metamorphic‚ and igneous. Rocks make rocks. The cycle begins within the core of the earth. The molten rock in the core of the earth is called magma. Once the rock is forced to the earth’s lithosphere or crust‚ the molten rock becomes lava and thereby begins its long journey of development into the different types of rocks. The basic categories of rocks include igneous‚ sedimentary and metamorphic. The rock cycle is largely driven by lithospheric plate movements which cause oceanic

a destructive plate boundary and this leads to numerous and highly destructive volcanic eruptions. You also find volcanoes along constructive plate boundaries where the plates are moving apart and this is creating new lands and volcanoes as molten lava builds up‚ an example of this is the Mid-Atlantic ridge which Iceland sits near. Figure 7 also shows us that there is a high level of volcanic activity within the pacific ring of fire‚ this is because of the high amount of destructive and constructive

in northwestern Arizona. Its vastness is 217 mile long‚ and its widest it spans over 17 miles across. It is not surprising that it has been designated one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The walls of the canyon are made of limestone‚ sandstone‚ lava and other rocks. As the day passes the rocks reflect different colors. Many tourists come to the canyon just to watch the rocks change color. Cottonwood and willow trees grow at the bottom of the canyon. Many varieties of cactus grow here as well

related to the grassland productivity‚ water availability and energy-use efficiency has great impact on the development of a country. To support this idea‚ scientists have collected evidences of living samples such as Siberian pines‚ downed logs and lava field’s stressed trees . In addition‚ the phosphorus levels of lakes and the precipitation pattern over years were also recorded. The above evidences collected support their idea in different ways. First of all‚ living samples collected can reflect

A volcano is an opening‚ or rupture‚ in the surface or crust of the Earth or a planetary mass object‚ which allows hot lava‚ volcanic ash and gases to escape from the magma chamber below the surface. On Earth‚ volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge‚ for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge‚ has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic
