![]() Folded Mts.

A depression with extent in one direction. Created by erosion, usually by a river. http://www.ibiblio.org/jimmy/folkden-wp/?p=7437 ![]() Sea Arch
A land form created by weathering and erosion that creates a hole through the wall of land. They are normally located near land. www.naturalarches.org ![]() Alluvial Fan
A fan shaped pattern of sediment on land. Created by erosion and sediment being deposited in an area. en.wikipedia.org ![]() Mesa
An elevated land with a flat top and sides that have usually flat sides. It is created by horizontal layered rocks being weathered and eroded and uplifted by tectonic plate activity. http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedia/resistors_mesa.cfm |
