Geography

• Arch


  An arched landform, often formed from soft or soluble rocks like limestone, that have been eroded by wind or water.
• Solution


  Water, acid, or other agents dissolve and carry away minerals and rocks.
• Abrasion


  Moving water, ice, or sand wears away rocks and soil.
• Weathering


  Chemical and physical processes break down rocks, making them vulnerable to erosion.
• Coastal Erosion


  Waves, tides, and currents constantly reshape coastlines, eating away at cliffs, headlands, and beaches.
• The main types of weathering are physical, chemical, and biological.
• Chemical weathering occurs when rocks react with substances such as carbon dioxide or oxygen to form new minerals.
• Physical weathering is caused by the action of water, ice, wind, temperature changes, and gravity.
