How are landforms shaped?

How are landforms shaped?

1. Internal Geological processes

   • Earthquakes
     • - Sudden Shake of the ground caused by the release of energy
   • Volcanoes
     • - On land and beneath the sea.
       • - Can create new landforms. like the Canary Islands
   • Mountain ranges
     • - When two tectonic plates smash against each other, the crust is moved upwards

2. External Geological processes

   • Agents
     • Surface water
     • Underground water
     • Wind
     • Glaciers
     • Seas
     • Living things
   • Processes
     • Erosion
       • wearing down of rocks by action of
         • water
         • Ice
         • Particles in the air
         • Living things
         • Valleys, caves, coastlines
     • Transportation
       • Movement of the eroded materials from one place to another
         • Glaciers and Calima
     • Deposition
       • Accumulation of the eroded materials on a specific place
         • Sand Dunes and Deltas
