Hard rock such as chalk is more resistant to the processes of erosion. When the softer rock is eroded inwards, the hard rock sticks out into the sea, forming a headland. A wave-cut platform is ...

Cliffs close cliffA vertical rock face. along the coastline do not erode at the same pace. A cliff is a steep rock face. When a stretch of coastline is formed from different types of rock ...

Grounded ice sheets move sediment around as they grow and shrink, creating erosional and depositional landforms from which scientists can reconstruct a region's glacial past. "When the ice is ...

Fluvial systems, which include rivers and their associated landforms, play a crucial role in shaping landscapes and influencing sediment transport and deposition. Recent research has focused on ...

Criterion (viii): The property represents an exceptional example of ongoing geological processes related to erosional and depositional features in a hot desert. The yardang/kalut landforms are widely ...

New images from the North Sea show never-before-seen landforms that were carved by a single, colossal ice sheet 1 million years ago and subsequently buried beneath a thick layer of mud ...
