Wind causes waves to be produced in the water. These can cause erosion of the coast. Wind can also cause material to be transported, for example by longshore drift, which is where sediment moves along ...

Longshore drift transports sediment in a zigzag motion and deposition occurs when waves lose energy. This video explores depositional landforms along the Holderness coast. Beaches form in sheltered ...

The Earth's land surface is dominated by sloping landscapes. Every year, soil erosion laterally distributes on the order of 75 Gt of topsoil (Berhe et al. 2007). The coupled biogeochemical cycles of ...

Climate change has become a critical factor influencing geomorphological processes and hydrological regimes within river basins. Rising temperatures and ...
