Depositional Landforms: New Picture Gallery

By , About.com GuideJune 8, 2009

Follow me on:

depositional landformsHaving upgraded the rocks and minerals, it's time to move on to my photo-encyclopedia of landforms. The first stage, Depositional Landforms, is ready. These are mostly things made of sand and mud, low-placed structures along the coast formed by rivers and waves. But I've spiced things up by including a few more vigorous items, like landslides and volcanoes. That goes against stodgy convention, but if you're rigorous about including landforms that are built rather than carved, you can't just rule them out by fiat. I'll probably give in to logic and add the glacial depositional landforms, too.
