Geological processes. Montage artwork of geological processes that form and erode landscapes. Some rocks are formed following volcanic eruptions (left and right). Some are laid down as sedimentary rocks. Tectonic forces uplift land to form mountains,on which snow and ice fall from clouds. This can lead to erosion of the landscape by glaciers. Water erosion occurs as rain falls from clouds and thunderstorms (lightning at upper right) to form rivers (centre). Weathering occurs in desert areas (upper right),where cold night temperatures (night sky shown) and warm day temperatures,plus winds and flash floods,scour rocks to form flat-topped mesas | |
