Orogen: geological structures originally larger d is due to internal heat molded by external agents.

Meander: Curves in the path of a river where erosion occurs on the outside and sedimentation on the inside.

Dolina: Subsidence in the ground caused by the dissolution in the subsurface.

Loess: Extensive clay deposits transpote wind up thousands of miles

Morrenas: are deposits of sediment is called till, which is transported by glaciers

Domain Mediterranean: are temperate climates are dry and rainfall in spring and autumn floods. Streams and wadis are dry all year round except when it rains. The sediment-laden water flows for this reason the presence of alluvial fans in the valley bottom end their tour the streams and ravines. Vegetation is replaced by other types of vegetation qe protect against erosion. The erosion of rocks is reduced rainfall xq are not constant and ns we find ridges and limestone massif. When vegetation is sparse, during episodes of heavy rain badlands are formed. In these areas of high soil loss increases the risk of desertification

Gelifraccion: Water gets into cracks in rocks freezes tempetatura low and increases the volume of rock fracturing. Occurs in areas or high mountain periglacial

Haloclastismo: saltwater spray penetrate cracks in rocks, fracturing occurs qe is the growth of salt crystals on the discontinuities.

Termoclastismo: the rocks exposed to sudden changes expand and tempetatura against breakage. Occurs in desert areas where the temperature varies greatly from day to night.

Factors affecting weathering:

lithology of parent rock: depending on its composition, will be more or less resistant. Igneous rocks tend to be affected by chemical weathering. Sedimentary rocks formed at low temperatures and pressures are altered by physical processes. climate: humid climates is important biological and chemical weathering in arid climates is given only physical weathering. topography: flat relief favor the alteration of water infiltration of rocks affects deeper areas of steep reliefs qe encourage water to run but without penetrating the rock. time: the degree of weathering d q pepende Yebenes xpuestas time to external agents. Ste parameter is useful when dl abla soil can be characterized with the terms young or mature
