LANDFORMS

DELTAS

• Deltas are formed by heavy rain
• They carry sediments and small rocks
• Rivers or lakes carry them
• And the sediment is deposited in a large body of water
• Creating a delta

CANYONS

• Canyons are formed same as caves by water
• The water erodes the edges and creates a space
• The flowing water carries the sediment away
• That then flows of to the ocean

CAVES

• Caves are formed by runing water
• Caves normally form underwater
• Or were once under water
• Many of the stalagtights you see
• Are made of a mixture of limestone and water

SAND DUNES

• A Sand dune is formed when...
• The wind picks up sand and drops it
• It either hits a dune or...
• The wind current stops
• A sand dune is formed

PLATEAUS

• Plateaus are formed by the power of wind and water
• They normally form near oceans
• Because the wind and waves are so strong that...
• They cut in and erode the landform
• The plateaus come in many shapes and sizes

STRIKE RIDGE

• A strike ridge or homoclinal ridge
• Is a hill or ridge with a a degrees of 10 to 30
• On its backslope or dip slope
• The front of it or the frontslope is almost cliff-like
