Geography Notes

Geography is an interesting subject which covers land (lithosphere), water (hydrosphere) and air (atmosphere). Hope you have gone through our easy-to-learn notes covering important land features. Now let's see how to learn fast the concepts associated with hydrosphere. Let's start from ocean floor … [Read more...] about Ocean Floor: Everything you need to know

In the previous article in geography section, we have discussed in detail about the interior of the earth. We have seen different layers like crust, core, and mantle. The Crust - even though very thin - as being the outer part of the lithosphere, is very significant. In this article, we focus on how … [Read more...] about Earth’s Crust: Elements, Minerals and Rocks

In this article (geography section), we discuss the interior of the earth. Understanding the basic structure of earth is very important to learn higher concepts well. Also, the origin of many phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami etc are linked with the structure of earth's interior. What … [Read more...] about Interior of the Earth: Crust, Mantle and Core

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

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

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

In the previous articles, we were discussing various types of endogenic and exogenic processes. We have also seen that erosion and deposition are some of the exogenic processes. In this post, we are dealing with the geomorphic agents - running water and groundwater, which causes erosion and … [Read more...] about Erosion and Deposition: Action of Running Water and Groundwater

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 and volcanoes are examples of sudden movements which originate from inside the earth. We have already seen the types of volcanoes. But, what is an earthquake? To put it simple, earthquake is the shaking of the earth. An earth quake can be defined as a sudden violent shaking of the ground … [Read more...] about Earthquakes: Everything you need to know
