Exploring how landforms transform over time, this lesson delves into the speed at which geological features evolve. By comparing examples like the Grand Canyon and the Mississippi River delta, students learn how scientists collect data to determine the rate of change through measurements and photogr

Cyclones and tsunamis are natural disasters that can have devastating effects such as strong winds, heavy rains, floods, and destruction. Cyclones are violent storms with high-speed winds rotating around a calm center of low pressure, while tsunamis are seismic sea waves caused by earthquakes or und

Earthquakes are sudden shaking movements of the Earth's surface caused by various factors like tectonic plate movements, volcanic eruptions, mining, and construction. They result in ground shaking, rupture, tsunamis, and landslides, with intensity influenced by factors such as distance from the epic

Applied Geomorphology is a vital field of science focusing on how geomorphic landforms and processes impact society and vice versa. It provides solutions to problems such as coastal erosion, landslides, and river management. By applying geomorphic knowledge, scientists, engineers, and decision-maker

Mass wasting, a geomorphic process driven by gravity, involves the movement of soil, rocks, and debris downslope. Landslides are common triggers, caused by factors like erosion and gravitational pull. Different types of mass movements, from gradual creep to rapid landslides, shape the Earth's surfac

Santa Catalina Island may be sinking, posing a future risk of a tsunami to the mainland. Scientists are studying the island's tilt and potential landslides to determine its geological changes. The presence of ancient fossils could confirm whether Catalina is sinking or rising, with implications for
