Landform

Erosion is the geological process in which Earth's surface is worn down by natural forces like running water, wind, glaciers and waves. Erosion is a key factor in the formation of beaches because erosion moves sediment (sand) from one location to another. There are three major types of coastal erosion; hydraulic action, corrosion and corrosion. Hydraulic action is when waves crashing against a headland causes erosion. Waves enter cracks in the rock and air is compressed into the crack by the…

The map is highly detailed with landforms, indicative of mountain ranges (Peregryns Mount, for example) throughout the entire region. Filling the map are countless names of Native American villages situated on the banks of rivers in the region, along with the boldly labeled names of various…

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock named after Sir Henry Ayers is a huge sandstone rock formation in the Northern Territory of Central Australia. Uluru is the most iconic landform in Australia and was formed over 500 million years ago. This single massive rock stands 348m tall with most of its 863m bulk lying under the sea. Uluru is a famous tourist destination allowing visitors to climb and camp around the base while allowing the view of breathtaking sunrise and sunset over the big rock. Uluru…

What is a sand mine? Sand mining is a process that removes sand from an open pit. Where has the sand mine at Cornulla existed?

JOURNAL TOPIC #3 - SETTING The setting is an integral part of any story, especially a Sci-Fi story. With no setting, the book has no location set with it, which can leave the reader confused and sometimes un-interested. The setting in The Kill Order, written by James Dashner, plays a huge role in the book. It communicates with the reader where these solar flares hit, and really how devastating they were. Dashner uses a really good sense of imagery to describe the setting in the book. Using this…

The main landforms in China can be classified as plateaus, plains, Pamir Plateau basins, foothills, and mountains. The highest area of topography' is formed by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at the average height of over 4,000 meters which also includes Mount Everest. Next to it there are large basins and plateaus, most of which are 1,000 - 2,000 meters high. Mountains divide each feature from one another (China like never before,n.d.). The next area is featured by broad plains which is dotted with…

level rise will occur in approximately 95% of the ocean area, with estimates that seas will rise between 26 and 82 cm. Therefore, we can assume it is probable that the geomorphological changes on the coast will have a profound impact on the existing landforms. In this essay, I will describe the predicted impacts on coastal geomorphology in relation to sea level rise. Sea level rise is attributed to four main…

Why We Tell Stories Stories have been with us since time began and remain to be a core tradition to not only tell them but create them. They possess a great deal of intimacy which are often captivating to the audience, entertain and educate them by use of well-served themes. In any society, there occurs a dynamic tradition of passing information and narrating life experiences in a creatively tied recital that accounts for the ordeals that took place in the past. Major life changes such as loss,…

Subsequent research helped validate the theory of plate techtonics and the Aleutian Subduction Zone. Over 600 years of landform uplift finally gave way. The initial shaking caused liquefaction from the Spring melt and the proximity of the ocean saturating the soil and making it extremely unstable. When the spring-loaded trigger gave way it thrust the landmass towards the…
