Forces That Shape The Earth Ms.M.V.N.K.JYOTI K.V.S.V.P.N.P.A .Shivrampally.
Introduction • The earth is shaped by both internal and external processes • Internally, tectonic processes form the lithosphere • Externally gradational processes also shape the lithosphere • These include: rivers, winds, glaciers, and waves
Rivers • Rivers cut deep valleys and create large deltas
Winds • Winds carves beautiful rock formations and carry sands
Glaciers • Glaciers flow over continents while slowly carving out the land and dropping large boulders…
Waves • Waves and currents cut into coastlines and polish sandy beaches….
The Other Gradational Force… • Humans are a gradational force • This picture is an example of the effects of over forestation
