Tag: Land Forms

Underground water, stored beneath the Earth’s surface, shapes landforms through erosion and deposition, particularly in areas with limestone, creating features like caves, sinkholes, and stalactites. These landforms are important for freshwater resources, tourism, scientific research, and cultural significance, exemplified by famous sites like the Ajanta Caves and Yellowstone National Park.

Wind is a significant force in erosion and deposition, especially in deserts and coastal areas. Aeolian processes include erosion, transportation, and deposition, resulting in various landforms like deflation hollows, mushroom rocks, sand dunes, and loess deposits. These formations enhance agricultural productivity and attract tourism while acting as natural barriers.
