Geography Notes

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

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 are already covered in detail, in this post we focus on exogenic forces … [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

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

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

Even though our country is blessed with wide varieties of soils with high fertility, it is being degraded day by day by various natural and human activities. Farmers in India are complaining about low productivity because of various reasons and soil degradation is one of them. Loss of soil fertility … [Read more...] about Causes of Soil Degradation and Methods for Soil Conservation
