Erosion

The Baruungoyot Formation preserves an environment of sand dunes, created from wind-eroded rocks (aeolian dunes).

Younger layers of rock and sediment have been progressively eroded in process that continues to this day.

The landform is a granitic rock remnant that has resisted weathering and erosion, likely due to being less fractured than the surrounding bedrock.

Most existing estuaries originated during the Holocene epoch with the flooding of river-eroded or glacially scoured valleys when the sea level began to rise about 10,000-12,000 years ago.

Where erosion has exposed the frontslope of this, a steep slope or escarpment occurs.

An inselberg results when a body of rock resistant to erosion, such as granite, occurring within a body of softer rocks, is exposed by differential erosion and lowering of the surrounding landscape.

It is created by the erosional forces of cascading water on the rocks at the formation's base where the water impacts.

It formed as a result of desert erosion and weathering of the scarp slopes.

Wind and water erosion then created unique rock formations.

The overall shape of the rock is due to wind erosion and the chemical weathering made possible by the moist conditions in the protected underside of the rock.

First, the differential erosion of rocks or sediments of varying hardness and resistance to erosion can create benches.

A dissected plateau is a plateau area that has been severely eroded, and the relief is sharp.

The processes of weathering and erosion will form canyons when the river's headwaters and estuary are at significantly different elevations, particularly through regions where softer rock layers are intermingled with harder layers more resistant to weathering.

Bays form when weak (less resistant) rocks (such as sands and clays) are eroded, leaving bands of stronger (more resistant) rocks (such as chalk, limestone, and granite) forming a headland, or peninsula.

The rocks are deformed in a number of different ways: by erosion and weathering, glacial action, or from a sudden disturbance.

The surface of hard, erosion-resistant rock strata forms the caprock of the backslope (dip-slope) of the homoclinal ridges from which erosion has preferentially stripped any weaker strata.

Many reefs result from natural, abiotic (non-living) processes such as deposition of sand or wave erosion planing down rock outcrops.

A narrows may form where a stream passes through a tilted bed of hard rock lying between two softer beds: "[i]f the hard beds are vertical, so that their outcrop does not shift as erosion proceeds, a narrows is developed". Like a dam, this "raises the water level for a short distance upriver". A narrows is also

Aeolian landforms, or Eolian landforms, are produced by either the erosive or depositive action of wind.

Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers.

The result is that the surface is eroded chiefly backward and that downward erosion is limited.
