  2. Earth Revealed: Introductory Geology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Revealed:...

    1. "Down to Earth" – Beginning by comparing surface conditions on the planets Venus and Mars with the living landscapes of the Earth to highlight how unique the Earth is, the episode describes the goal of the study of geology and introduces major topics the series addresses, including the Earth's heat engines, plate tectonics, volcanism, earthquakes and seismology, erosion, and natural ...

  3. Deposition (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(geology)

    Map of Cape Cod showing shores undergoing erosion (cliffed sections) in yellow, and shores characterized by marine deposition (barriers) in blue. [1]Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass.

  4. Surface runoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_runoff

    Surface runoff can cause erosion of the Earth's surface; eroded material may be deposited a considerable distance away. There are four main types of soil erosion by water: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion and gully erosion. Splash erosion is the result of mechanical collision of raindrops with the soil surface: soil particles which ...

  5. Denudation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denudation

    Techniques for measuring erosion and denudation include stream load measurement, cosmogenic exposure and burial dating, erosion tracking, topographic measurements, surveying the deposition in reservoirs, landslide mapping, chemical fingerprinting, thermochronology, and analysis of sedimentary records in deposition areas.

    Paleoplain - A buried erosion plain; a particularly large and flat erosion surface; Panhole – Depression or basin eroded into flat or gently sloping cohesive rock; Pediment – Very gently sloping inclined bedrock surface; Pediplain – Extensive plain formed by the coalescence of pediments; Peneplain – Low-relief plain formed by protracted ...

  7. Erosion and tectonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion_and_tectonics

    Understanding the principle of isostasy is a key element to understanding the interactions and feedbacks shared between erosion and tectonics. The principle of isostasy states that when free to move vertically, lithosphere floats at an appropriate level in the asthenosphere so that the pressure at a depth of compensation in the asthenosphere well below the base of the lithosphere is the same.
