| Landforms produced by erosion and
deposition |
Understand the relationship between landforms and
the processes that have created them, especially the
interplay between erosion and deposition.
Understand the evolution of fluvial or water-formed
landscapes as the outcome of dynamic processes such
as slope erosion, stream erosion and deposition.
Understand that the principle underlying the
relationship between velocity and particle size (as
shown by the Hjulström diagram) is the basis for
understanding erosion, transportation and deposition.
Understand the formation of waterfalls and rapids,
meanders and associated landforms, flood plains,
braided channels, levees and deltas.
Be aware that changes in base level can affect erosion
and deposition in the basin, and understand the
concepts of rejuvenation, knickpoints and terraces. |
