Forces inside and outside the earth can change the shape of the earth's surface. We have already seen the effects of geomorphic forces in our previous Geography notes. Endogenic forces and exogenic forces can create a lot of landforms. A landform is a natural feature of the solid surface of the … [Read more...] about Major Landforms – Mountains, Plateaus, and Plains: Learn faster

Erosion and Deposition: Action of Wind and Waves
In the previous articles, we have been discussing various exogenic geomorphic agents like water (running water and groundwater) and glaciers. We have seen the evolution of landforms due to these agents. In this post, we discuss in detail how the wind and the waves cause the evolution of various … [Read more...] about Erosion and Deposition: Action of Wind and Waves
Erosion and Deposition: Action of Glaciers
In the previous article, we were discussing the evolution of landforms due to the activities of running water and groundwater. This article deals with the evolution of landforms due to another exogenic geomorphic agent - glaciers. What is a Glacier? Glaciers are a mass of ice moving under its … [Read more...] about Erosion and Deposition: Action of Glaciers
Erosion and Deposition: Action of Running Water and Groundwater
Erosion and deposition by running water are fundamental geological processes that shape the Earth's surface. These processes are primarily driven by the movement of water, typically through rivers, streams, and other water bodies. Read here to learn about the erosional landforms by running water and … [Read more...] about Erosion and Deposition: Action of Running Water and Groundwater
Exogenic Forces: Classification
What are exogenic forces? How are exogenic forces classified? We have been discussing geomorphic processes in our previous notes in the Geography section. We have already seen that geomorphic processes are classified into endogenic processes and exogenic processes. As endogenic processes … [Read more...] about Exogenic Forces: Classification
Earthquakes: Everything you need to know
Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, resulting in the shaking or trembling of the ground. These events are caused by the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates and are a common geological occurrence. Read here to learn … [Read more...] about Earthquakes: Everything you need to know
Volcanoes: Everything You Need To Know
A volcano is an opening in the earth’s crust through which gases, molten rocks materials (lava), ash, steam etc. are emitted outward in the course of an eruption. Such vents or openings occur in those parts of the earth’s crust where the rock strata are relatively weak. Volcanic activity is an … [Read more...] about Volcanoes: Everything You Need To Know
Endogenic Forces and Evolution of Land forms
We have already seen that Geomorphic processes can create land forms. We also know that endogenic forces (internal) and exogenic forces (external) are the two main types of geomorphic processes which results in earth movements. In this post, let's study endogenic forces in detail. Endogenic Forces … [Read more...] about Endogenic Forces and Evolution of Land forms
Geomorphic Processes and Earth Movements
It is time to know in detail about the surface of the earth on which we live. We know that the surface of the earth is not a plain platform. It is distributed unevenly with a variety of landforms like mountains, hills, plateaus, plains, ravines, cliffs etc. Why is the surface of the earth uneven? … [Read more...] about Geomorphic Processes and Earth Movements
