What are different types of Soils
Depending upon their mode of formation, the soil deposits have been broadly grouped into two classes: (i) residual soil deposits, and (ii) transported soil deposits. What are the different types…
What is Erosion? Mention different types of erosion
Introduction to Erosion Erosion is a natural geological process that involves the removal and transportation of disintegrated soil and rock particles, or sediment from one location to another by the…
What is Geography
The word Geography has been derived from the Greek word “Geographia”, which consists of two words “Geo” and Graphia”. Geo means the Earth, and Graphia means to write. Collectively Geographia…
What is wind Erosion| Features of the wind erosion
The air current in motion is called “wind”. The wind is an important agent of erosion, transport and deposition. Its work is particularly seen in arid regions. Wind Erosion Although…
Introduction to Sand Dunes| What are their different types
Sand Dunes The strong action of wind generally deposits sand in the form of mounds. These sand mounds are known as “Sand Dunes”. The sand traveling as a bed load…
What are Erosion Control Blankets
What is an Erosion Control Blanket (ECB)? An erosion control blanket (ECB), also known as the erosion control mat or fabric, is a material made to prevent soil erosion on…
Erosion by stream action
The term stream includes the channelized flow of any size, from the smallest brook to a very large river like the Amazon. Although the terms “river” and “steam” are used…
Features of Stream Erosion| Erosional Lanform
Stream Erosion/Water Erosion refers to the process by which flowing water (rivers or streams) wears away the Earth’s surface, thus transporting away the sediments and shaping the landscape. Some prominent…
What is depositional landform
There are two types of landforms; (i) erosional landforms, and (ii) depositional landforms. Landforms resulting from erosional activities of different erosional agents, like water, glaciers, and wind are known as…
Base Level and Braided Streams
Longitudinal Profile The plot of the relative elevation of a stream bed from headwaters to mouth is called its “longitudinal profile”. In other words, the longitudinal profiles are plots of…
