Landscape Composition
The landscape includes:
- Landforms
- Weather
- Human presence
- Flora and fauna (density and type)
- Land area
- Spectator's viewpoint
- Subjective aspects
Relief forms result from geological agents:
- Rivers: fluvial molding, wild water, pouring
- Groundwater: karst formations
- Sea waves: coastal formations
- Wind: aeolian landforms
Solar Energy Influence
Solar energy is unevenly distributed, creating:
- Atmospheric and oceanic currents
- Different climates
- Water cycle activation
- Geological agent activity
- Ecosystem functioning
Storms form where cold and hot/humid air converge.
Climate and Atmosphere
Climate determines effective geological agents and dominant weather patterns.
Meteorology studies atmospheric phenomena (precipitation, wind), represented on weather maps.... Continue reading "Landscape Elements, Weathering, and Sedimentary Rocks" »
