Eroded by Water:
* Canyons: Deep, narrow valleys carved by rivers, often with steep sides. Examples: Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon.
* Gorges: Similar to canyons but often narrower and with steeper sides, often formed by rivers cutting through hard rock. Example: Niagara Gorge.
* Meanders: Winding bends in a river channel, formed by erosion on the outer bank and deposition on the inner bank.
* Oxbow lakes: U-shaped lakes formed when a meander is cut off from the main river channel.
* Floodplains: Flat, fertile areas along rivers that are periodically flooded, formed by deposition of sediment during floods.
* Deltas: Triangular-shaped landforms created at the mouth of a river where it enters a larger body of water, formed by deposition of sediment.
* Sea cliffs: Steep rock faces along coastlines, formed by wave erosion.
* Beaches: Areas of sand or pebbles along coastlines, formed by wave erosion and deposition.
* Sea stacks: Isolated rock formations that stand out from the sea, formed by wave erosion.
Eroded by Wind:
* Sand dunes: Hills of sand formed by wind deposition.
* Yardangs: Streamlined, wind-eroded hills, often found in deserts.
* Loess deposits: Thick layers of fine-grained sediment transported and deposited by wind, often forming fertile soils.
Eroded by Ice:
* Glacial valleys: U-shaped valleys formed by glacial erosion.
* Cirques: Bowl-shaped depressions at the head of glacial valleys, formed by glacial erosion.
* Aretes: Sharp, narrow ridges between glacial valleys.
* Horns: Pyramid-shaped peaks formed by the intersection of multiple cirques.
* Fjords: Deep, narrow inlets carved by glaciers along coastlines.
* Moraines: Ridges of rock and sediment deposited by glaciers.
Eroded by Gravity:
* Landslides: Mass movements of rock, soil, and debris down a slope, often triggered by rain or earthquakes.
* Mudflows: Rapid flows of mud and water, often triggered by heavy rainfall.
* Rockfalls: Sudden falls of rock from cliffs or slopes.
* Talus slopes: Slopes covered with broken rock fragments, formed by rockfalls.
This list only scratches the surface of the diverse landforms created by erosion. The specific landform created depends on a variety of factors, including the type of erosive force, the type of rock, the climate, and the time over which erosion has occurred.
