The Role of Plate Tectonics in the Formation of Different Landforms

Introduction Plate tectonics is a fundamental geological theory that explains the movement of Earth’s lithospheric plates and their interactions. This dynamic process shapes Earth’s surface, creating various landforms through mechanisms such as divergence, convergence, and transform motion. The movement of these plates leads to the formation of mountains, valleys, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, rift valleys, and…

Landforms Formed by Wind Erosion and Deposition

Wind is one of the most powerful natural forces that shape the Earth’s surface, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Wind erosion and deposition create a variety of unique landforms that contribute to the dynamic nature of desert landscapes. These landforms result from the processes of deflation, abrasion, and sediment transport. The following sections explore…
