elevations‚ offer more favorable conditions. The terrain of some plateaus is unbroken and flat. The terrain of many others has been eroded away by water and wind over millions of years to create distinct and unusual landforms. As such‚ many plateaus are landforms filled with landforms. By definition‚ a plateau is a relatively level‚ large expanse of land that rises some 1‚500 feet (457 meters) or more above its surroundings and has at least one steep side. A plateau may cover an area as small as

Post-glaciation‚ a corrie may be filled with a tarn. This is water that has been collected in the hollow; it is dammed by the rock lip. Over-deepened basin caused by erosion due to rotational flow.

are broad‚ nearly level stretches of land that have no great changes in elevation. Plains are generally lower than the land around them; they may be found along a coast or inland. Coastal plains generally rise from sea level until they meet higher landforms such as mountains or plateaus. Inland plains may be found at high altitudes.

Geography ISP: Interlocking Spurs 1. An Interlocking Spur is a physical feature which consists of: a valley in the form of the letter V‚ a river bank (the part of a river where the land begins and where the land slowly gets higher and higher until reaching water level)‚ a source (the first place in a river where water begins to flow)‚ a channel(the outline of a shallow narrow body of water) and spurs. 2. 3. The formation of an Interlocking Spur takes a very long time due to the many stages it must

Sample Topic: How do the processes of erosion and deposition influence contrasting landforms observed at selected areas along the coastline of Palisadoes Kingston and Hector’s river Portland. Sample Aim: The aim of the study is to identify and describe the different coastal processes involved in the formation land at the four areas studied. This study also seeks to compare different types of landforms observed and attempt to justify their formation. Date: 09/10/2014 Location1: Windward side

Magbabaya created the earth from the soil coming from Dadanyahan’s mouth but it was dry and colorless. Dadanyahan sprinkled his saliva and blessed by Magbabaya and it was the first rain. When water washed over the earth it created different landforms and water forms. Vegetation also sprouted and grow. Magbabaya and Makabughaw scoped some soil and made a figure with the use of Dadanyahan’s saliva. They put bones‚ blood vessels and blood to the seven figures they formed. Magbabaya and Dadanyahan
