Answer:
Explanation:
Even in deserts, the main agent of erosion is water. Wind is a secondary agent of erosion. Fine sand grains are removed leaving behind coarser material. The process is called deflation and the material left behind forms a desert pavement.Gale force winds, lightning strikes, temperature extremes and a deluge of snow, hail or rain. These combined forces break up the rocks and erode the peaks into their stark, sculpted forms. Falling ice, rocks and gushing water wear away at the mountain slopes
Answer:
a) Defining mountain landscapes
The defining characteristic of mountainous areas is vertical zonation; the relationship between environments (climate, vegetation, soil) across the vertical zones, the types of activity that can take place therein and when (in which season) these activities can take place.
b)
A desert is a region of land that is very dry because it receives low amounts of precipitation (usually in the form of rain, but it may be snow, mist or fog), often has little coverage by plants, and in which streams dry up unless they are supplied by water from outside the area.
