We find in Australia many changing landforms, most of them invisible to the human eye. For a landform to change it will need to either erode or weather. Erosion means the mechanical process of wearing or grinding something down. Weathering means the chemical or physical process that changes rocks.
In Australia we have active and changing landforms and you cn find them at ..."......"".........
Different forces, I.e wind, fore, snow create landforms. These things can either be internal; generated inside the Earth or external; created outside the Earth. Plate tectonics continuously change the Earth's crust. This creates different types of rocks to be formed, destroyed and combined together. In other words, when rocks are exposed to different weather conditions they change formation.
Weathering and Erosion:
Weathering:
There are 3 types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biotic.
High temperatures and water can speed up the process.
Heart, wind and frost contribute to the making.
Physical Weathering:
Physical weathering is the changing of rocks by physical forces. For example temperature changes, heat, wind and frost.
Chemical Weathering:
Chemical weathering is rocks that can be changed by chemical reactions involving water and the rock's minerals. It can change the colour of rocks, crush them or even cause them to form different shapes and types.
Biotic Weathering:
Biotic weathering is the combination of physical and chemical weathering caused by plants and animals.
Erosion:
