A small-scale form of exfoliation, called spheroidal weathering, is restricted to boulder-sized rockmaterial and may occur at some depth within the Earth. In this case, rounded boulders are found surrounded by layers of disintegrated material.

Mangrove forests thrive near the mouths of large rivers where river deltas provide lots of sediment (sand and mud). Mangrove roots collect sediments and slow the water's flow, helping to protect the coastline and preventing erosion. Over time, the roots can collect enough debris and mud to extend the edge of the coastline further out.
Mangrove forests are teeming with life. Shorebirds, crab-eating monkeys, and fishing cats all make the mangrove home. Mangroves provide a safe haven and a nursery for a variety of fish, birds, crustaceans, and shellfish.
