Continental Ice Sheets - Glaciers formed in non-mountainous areas of continents Only 2 exist today: Greenland and Antarctica Ice Shelfs: Where they meet the sea Vary in thickness from hundreds of feet to two miles deep Crustal Depression - Enormous weight of ice sheets Isostatic adjustment, crust is rebounding where glacial ice existed Response to weight loss Depositional Glacial Landforms - All debris in the ice is eventually brought to the ablation zone and deposited Modes: Directed...

This document consists of all the knowledge needed for in Paper 1 Eduqas Geography A Level. It breaks down each point of the specification and includes both in A01 and A02 in detail. This includes: the operation of the coast as a system, temporal variations and their influence on coastal environments, landforms and landscape systems, distinctive features and distribution, factors affecting coastal processes and landforms; processes of coastal weathering, mass movement, erosion and the characteri...

GEOG 1F91 – Winter 2021 LAB 8 – Coastal Processes and Landforms 1 TEXT REFERENCE: Chapter 19 – Coastal Processes and Landforms Chapter 16 – Fluvial Systems and Landforms SAKAI VIDEO RESOUR CES:

Geomorphology - ️️the science of landforms (their origin, form, and spatial distribution) Topography - ️️elevation changes of the earth's surface over a given space or distance (ridges and valleys) Landform - ️️an individual element of a landscape, mountain, or a valley, etc. Uniformitarianism - ️️the idea that the processes of change we see today are the same as they were in the past and will be in the future. Types of landforms - ️️tectonic, fluvial, karst, gla...
