Also known as rifting, this process occurs when rocks on one side of a fault rise relative to the other. The uplifted blocks become block mountains (also known as horsts) while  the intervening dropped blocks are known as graben.]]> 2017-06-12 08:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/martapradocera/bfnpal6sht51/wish/176056738 Landscape martapradocera https://padlet.com/martapradocera/bfnpal6sht51/wish/176057297 Bignona]]> 2017-06-12 08:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/martapradocera/bfnpal6sht51/wish/176057297 Landscape martapradocera https://padlet.com/martapradocera/bfnpal6sht51/wish/176057465 Deposition is the geological process by which SEDIMENTS, SOIL, and ROCKS are ADDED to a LANDFORM.]]> 2017-06-12 08:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/martapradocera/bfnpal6sht51/wish/176057465 Landscape martapradocera https://padlet.com/martapradocera/bfnpal6sht51/wish/176057585 Janjang Bureh/ Georgetown ]]> 2017-06-12 08:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/martapradocera/bfnpal6sht51/wish/176057585 Landcape martapradocera https://padlet.com/martapradocera/bfnpal6sht51/wish/176057807 Deposition is the geological process by which SEDIMENTS, SOIL, and ROCKS are ADDED to a LANDFORM.

Water is moved by gravity. It falls from the sky on the soils and it starts erosive processes, it transports materials until its deposition when water loses force. It becomes surface water, first running without a concrete direction, and later forming streams, rivers and lakes.
