The continental shelf is the sloping undersea plain between a continent and the deep ocean. It is an underwater landmass which extends from a continent resulting in an area of relatively shallow water known as a shelf sea. The geology of continental shelves is often similar to that of the adjacent exposed portion of the […]
Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions, or in the time variation of weather within the context of longer-term average conditions. The potential future effects of global climate change […]
The landline is a very huge variety of mass movements that are seen in the downward and outward of movement of slope-forming materials lick rocks, soils, artificial fills under the gravity influence. The materials may move by falling, sliding, toppling, spreading or flowing. These landslides occur worldwide and cause thousands of casualties and billions of […]
All over the Planet, there are hundreds of Landforms types scattered. Some Landforms are much more common and spectacular as compared to other Landforms. Some of the Landforms have the same features and it is quite difficult to tell about which feature what is. Landforms are re-shaped constantly and sometimes it is not easy to […]
Volcanoes are mountains. Fine particles of rock dust blown from an explosion vent Volcanoes are just a natural way that the Earth and other planets have of cooling off and releasing internal heat and pressure. Volcanoes form when chambers of magma, or hot molten rock, boil to the surface. These magma chambers often remain sealed for […]
A valley is a type of landform. A valley is a lower part of the land, between two higher parts which might be hills or mountains. A valley is a low area between hills or mountains often with a river running through it. In geology, a valley or dale is a depression that is longer than it is wide. Valleys often start as a […]
Soils are rich ecosystems, composed of both living and non- living matter with a multitude of interaction between them. It is particularly concerned with the cycling of nutrients, formation, and stabilization of the pore structure. The inhabited organisms are in the upper layer of the soil. Where these organisms break down dead organic matter releasing […]
A mountain is a very large landform which stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area. Mountain climbing is one such escapade and is seen as an intense experiment of human desire and endurance. It is basically situated in the hilly areas. Mountains are generally larger than hills. It is in the form of […]
Islands can be formed in different ways. As volcanoes erupt, they build up layers of lava. When the tops of the volcanoes appear above the water, an island is formed. Erosion of peninsulas can also create islands. An island landform island that is completely surrounded by water. It can be any type of land. The island can also be surrounded different […]
Water is such an important part of our lives. It can affect the communities and environment in many ways. A drought is when there is the absence of precipitation over an extended period of time, usually a season or more, resulting in a water shortage for some activity, group, or environmental sector. It impacts result […]
