What is a landform?
In simple words, small to medium tracts or parcels of the earth’s surface are called landforms.
In humid regions receiving heavy rainfall, which geomorphic agent is considered the most important for bringing about the degradation of the land surface?
Running water is considered the most important geomorphic agent.
What are the basic differences between glacial valleys and river valleys?
Glaciated valleys are trough-like and U-shaped with broad floors and relatively smooth, and steep sides, while river valleys are V-shaped with narrow floors and steep sides.
What are the various differences between a high rocky coast and a low sedimentary coast in terms of processes and landforms?
High rocky coasts have irregular coastlines, highly indented with glacial valleys (fjords), while low sedimentary coasts have smooth coastlines with occasional incursions of water in the form of marshes, swamps, and deltas.
Explain the formation of sea stacks and how they are related to wave erosion of coastal features.
Sea stacks are resistant masses of rock that stand isolated as small islands off the shore, formed by the wave erosion of sea cliffs. Wave erosion widens and deepens hollows, creating caves whose roofs collapse, leading to the formation of sea stacks.
