Erosion

Natural Disasters
Earth has been shaped by many natural catastrophes, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, glaciers, floods, storms, tsunami, and the impacts of asteroids.
Water Cycle
In the water cycle, water evaporates from Earth’s surface, rises and cools, condenses to form clouds and falls as rain or snow and collects in bodies of water.
Landforms
Landforms are created by processes that build up structures and processes that break down and carry away material through erosion and weathering.
1. created by water
  1. surface
    1. river beds, oxbows, meanders
  2. underground
    1. caves
  3. floods
  4. landslides
2. created by ice
  1. valley glaciers
    1. tarns
    2. arretes
    3. moraines
    4. erratics
  2. ice sheets
3. created by wind
  1. sand dunes
Water is a Solvent
Water is a solvent. As it passes through the water cycle, it dissolves minerals and gases and carries them to the oceans.
