MODELLING OF THE
LAND RELIEF
The structure of the Earth
3 parts:
-CRUST (continental and oceanic)
-MANTLE (upper mantle and lower mantle)
-CORE (outer and inner)
Modelling of the land relief
THE CICLE OF ROCKS
Modelling of the land relief
Modelling of the land relief
What are the names of the rocks
which are on the Earth´s
surface?
SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
What structure produces the action
of geological agents on sedimentary
rocks?
THE LANDSCAPE
GEOLOGICAL AGENTS
-Wind
-Glaciers
-Wild waters (streams, torrential
fluvial)
-Fluvial waters (rivers)
-Groundwater
-Sea
Modelling of the relief phase:
1. METEORISATION
2. EROSION
3. TRANSPORT
4. SEDIMENTATION
SEDIMENTARY PROCESS
Modelling of the land relief
1. METEORISATION
Destruction of preexisting rocks by the action from ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS (temperature, rainfall, action of gases), without displacing
the fragments.
3 Types of meteorisation:
1. Mechanical o physical meteorisation: it doesn´t change the
chemical composition.
2. Chemical meteorisation: structure and components are decomposed.
3. Biological meteorisation: living beings break up the rocks.
2. EROSION
Destruction of preexisting rocks by the action from GEOLOGICAL
AGENTS which move the fragments towards other different place.
What are the differences between
Meteorisation and Erosion?
3. TRANSPORT
The transport of rock fragments from the place which produce the
meteorisation and erosion to other different.
This transport depend on:
-Size of fragment rocks.
-Force of external agent (wind, water …)
4. SEDIMENTATION
It´s a process of accumulation of rock fragments transported.
- This acumulation forms SEDIMENTS.
- When sediments are compacted form SEDIMENTARY ROCKS.
Explain what conditioning factors ( or
atmospheric agents ) influence in the action of
the external agents in the next pictures

Modelling of the land relief
THE SOIL
The soil is not simple accumulation of
sediments.
It is formed very slowly under the influence of
fhese factors:
MOTHER ROCK: the original matter
over which soils are formed.
Sometimes is originated by the
compactation of sediments (gravel ,
sand or clay), and it gives to the soil
several mineral components.
The different composition of
materials and the accumulation of
substances form different layers
known as HORIZONS.
HUMUS: is decomposed organic
matter that comes from the
remains of animals and plants,
Humus give to the soil a huge
productivity.
LIVING BEINGS: the animals of
the soil (worms, for example) and
the roots of plants help to mix the
materials to air it.
CLIMATE: temperature and rainfall
for example, produce alteration of
rocks (by leaching, for example)
GEOLOGICAL AGENTS:
WIND
• The wind or aeolian processes can
produce erosion, transport and
sedimentation.
• The action of wind is very active in HOT
and COLD arid zones.
• There are two kinds of erosive action:
DEFLATION
AEOLIC ABRASION
DEFLATION: is the normal process of
erosion by the wind, that is, the selective
movement of particles which fall on the
ground and it forms different landscapes.
A desert formed by stone field : REGS
A desert formed by dunes: ERG
And the thinnest particles can travel long distances and when the
wind loses its force the particles fall down in humid zones and
it forms LOESS.
Its the origin of the mud and clay
AEOLIC ABRASION: is the wearing
away of rocks caused by the repeated
impact of the particles carried by the wind.
Fungi rock
AEOLIC EROSION:
AEOLIC SEDIMENTATION:
-By traction: when the particles are carried without
losing contact with the Earth´s surface.
- By saltation: when they are lifted slightly and they
touch the Earth´s surface from time to time.
-By suspension: when small particles are in the air
without touching the Earth for a long time.
-Deflation
-Aeolic abrasion
AEOLIC TRANSPORT: the particles carried by the wind are transported:
-A desert of stone: REG.
-A desert of dunes: ERG.
-Individual Dunes.
-Loess deposit: it is the origin of clay and mud. LIMOS (de poco grano, entre
arenas finas y arcillas, es transportado por viento y agua. También zonas
inundadas sedimenta y da mucha fertilidad a los suelos)
INDIVIDUAL DUNES
BRANCHAN DUNE
PARABOLIC DUNE
Moving crescent-shaped
dune whose arms extend
in the same direction as
the wind
Moving crescent-shaped
dune whose arms extend
in the opposite direction to
the wind
LONGITUDINAL DUNE
When the dunes are parallel
to the directon of the wind
EXTERNAL AGENT:
FLUVIAL PROCESSES
- Stream
- Torrent
A. WILD WATERS
Surface waters from rainfall that flow with no
fixed course. When the water flow through small
channels are known as streams.
The action of these geological agents is especially important in steep
hillsides which are unprotected by a layer of vegetation.
This erosion is very important because these geological factors can wear
away the soil and it produces a lost of productivity.
- DISADVANTAGES:
- ADVANTAGES:
This erosion produce nice landscapes:
-BADLANDS: are abrupt areas where there are “V” shapes of
varying depths. Badlands is formed by the rainfall that wear away the
soft rocks but not the hard rocks, and by channels of streams which
produce erosion too (CÁRCAVAS)
-FAIRY CHIMNEYS: are conical shapes in the rocks where the
upper part is composed by harder rocks than rocks located down.
They are produced by a strong rainfall, surface waters and the wind.
(CHIMENEAS DE HADAS)
Modelling of the land relief
EROSION OF WILD WATERS: this erosive capacity of the water depends on
the effect of friction caused by sediments, the geological characteristics of the
land ( such as steep slope ) and how long that wild waters are in land.
Produce landscapes such as:
SEDIMENTATION OF WILD WATERS: the most common forms are:
-Bad-lands
-Fairy chimneys
TRANSPORT OF WILD WATERS: it´s very variable. It depends on the
intensity of water.
-Alluvial plains
CONO DE DEYECCIÓN (in Spanish language)
• Rivers
B. FLUVIAL WATERS
Surface waters that flow with fixed course
The high, medium, and low courses of a river produce erosion, transport
and sedimentation in any point along the river´s course.
The erosion, transport and sedimentation depend on the speed of the
water.
FLUVIAL EROSION: this erosive capacity of the water depends on the speed
of the water, the effect of friction caused by the sediments and the geological
characteristics of the land ( such as steep slope ).
FLUVIAL SEDIMENTATION: the most common forms are:
-By dilution in the water.
-Floating on the surface.
-Suspended in water.
-Jumping and rolling.
-The own course of the river
-Waterfalls (factor of erosion and landscape)
-Meanders (factor of erosion and landscape)
-Bad-Land (landscape)
-Fairy chimneys (landscape)
FLUVIAL TRANSPORT: the particles carried by the water are transported:
-Alluvial plains
-Fluvial terraces
-Deltas
-Estuary
water water
FLUVIAL
EROSION
PRODUCES
VALLEYS TOO
MEANDER: curves in the middle of the
river that erod on the concave edge.
DELTA: accumulations of sediments
that appear in some river. It occurs in
shallow, calm waters.
ESTUARY: accumulations of
sediments that appear in
some river, but its
influenced by the force of
the sea (the sea goes
towards the land and the
sediments are dispersed)
FLUVIAL TERRACES: are layers of river
deposits situated at higher level than
the actual river bed.
ALLUVIAL PLAINS: smooth land where extensive
deposits of materials are deposited by decrease of
the river or stream speed after crossing a steep
relief.

Produce landscapes such as: SEDIMENTATION OF WILD WATERS: the most common forms are: -Bad-lands -Fairy chimneys TRANSPORT OF WILD WATERS: it´s very variable. It depends on the intensity of water. -Alluvial plains CONO DE DEYECCIÓN (in Spanish language)
  • 38. • Rivers B. FLUVIAL WATERS Surface waters that flow with fixed course The high, medium, and low courses of a river produce erosion, transport and sedimentation in any point along the river´s course. The erosion, transport and sedimentation depend on the speed of the water.
  • 39. FLUVIAL EROSION: this erosive capacity of the water depends on the speed of the water, the effect of friction caused by the sediments and the geological characteristics of the land ( such as steep slope ). FLUVIAL SEDIMENTATION: the most common forms are: -By dilution in the water. -Floating on the surface. -Suspended in water. -Jumping and rolling. -The own course of the river -Waterfalls (factor of erosion and landscape) -Meanders (factor of erosion and landscape) -Bad-Land (landscape) -Fairy chimneys (landscape) FLUVIAL TRANSPORT: the particles carried by the water are transported: -Alluvial plains -Fluvial terraces -Deltas -Estuary water water FLUVIAL EROSION PRODUCES VALLEYS TOO
  • 40. MEANDER: curves in the middle of the river that erod on the concave edge. DELTA: accumulations of sediments that appear in some river. It occurs in shallow, calm waters. ESTUARY: accumulations of sediments that appear in some river, but its influenced by the force of the sea (the sea goes towards the land and the sediments are dispersed) FLUVIAL TERRACES: are layers of river deposits situated at higher level than the actual river bed. ALLUVIAL PLAINS: smooth land where extensive deposits of materials are deposited by decrease of the river or stream speed after crossing a steep relief.
