Sand dunes are built up over time when sand is
carried and deposited by wind. Winds can also
break down sand dunes by changing their shape.
Beach Dunes
Beach dunes are built up over time when sand is
carried and deposited by wind and water. Hurricanes
can change or destroy beach dunes very quickly due
to the strong waves and wind they create.
Glaciers are examples of a weathering and
erosion by ice. The massive weight of the glacier
presses on the Earth, causing a U-shaped valley.
A rocky cliff is an example of a landform caused
by water weathering the cliffs.
a V-shaped valley is caused by water cuts
through hills and mountains weathering
them down. U-shaped valleys are caused
by glaciers that weather a mountain.
Some mountains are formed by the collision of
continental plates.
A cave is formed by water erosion and
weathering.
An island is a landform caused by underwater
volcanoes erupting and cooling creating new
land.
Volcanoes are examples of a destructive force
when it erupts and destroys everything in its lava
path, but it is also constructive when the lava
cools and forms new land.
