PPT-Landforms Created By Rivers

Formation of a Waterfall and Gorge 2 Formation of a Waterfall A waterfall often occurs when a river flows from one rock type onto another For example if the river flows from the harder rock and onto softer rocks because of the vertical movement of rocks along a fault line in the past. Objective 12/06/11. Explain how landforms are created through erosional processes . How is erosion different from weathering?. Erosional Landforms. Erosional Landforms. Erosion. A gravity driven process that moves solids (sediment, soil, rock and other particles) from their source and deposits them elsewhere.. Study .

Landforms are the natural shapes or features of the land.. There are many different types of landforms found on Earth.. What are Landforms?. Mountain. A mountain is a place on Earth’s surface that is much higher than the land around it.. Tributary- small stream flowing onto a larger one. Drainage Basin- land where a river collects it’s water from- also called a water shed. Divide- land separating two drainage basin. Landforms Created by Erosion. Rivers have become regular features in the news. In any given year, one or more rivers become notorious for their devastating floods. But for most of the time, rivers are very useful – they provide people with their livelihoods, a place to live near and are a great source of recreation and leisure. Learning to live and cope with rivers would seem to be of increasing importance. And yet, many human activities seem to make the river environment, and the human use of it, more hazardous. Is it possible for humans to live harmoniously with rivers, while benefit from them at the same time?. for Geologic Mapping and Analysis.

Tigris and Euphrates Rivers Both rivers begin in Turkey and flow south through Iraq. In southern Iraq, the two rivers join to form one waterway. That waterway, Al- Arab Shatt, empties into the Persian Gulf. Rivers What do you know about rivers? Do you know where rivers come from? Do you know any rivers in your local area? What types of animals would you find in or near a river? Is there anything you would like to know about rivers?
