Delta and sand dune.

Front

How do glaciers contribute to the formation of landforms?

Back

By eroding the landscape and creating U-shaped valleys.

Front

What is the difference between a U-shaped valley and a V-shaped valley?

Back

A U-shaped valley is formed by glacial erosion, while a V-shaped valley is typically formed by river erosion.

Front

What role does sediment deposition play in landform creation?

Back

It leads to the formation of features like deltas and sand dunes.

Front

What is a key characteristic of a delta?

Back

It is formed at the mouth of a river where it meets a body of water, characterized by sediment deposition.
