1. Alluvial Fans:
- Constructive work of rivers results in the formation of alluvial fans.
- They are fan-shaped deposits of sediments formed where a river leaves a mountainous region and enters a flatter area.
2. Floodplains:
- These are flat areas adjacent to a river that are periodically inundated during flooding.
- They are formed by the deposition of sediment during overbank flooding when a river overflows its banks.
3. Deltas:
- Deltas are formed where a river meets a larger body of water, such as an ocean or a large lake.
- Sediments carried by the river are deposited at the river's mouth, building up triangular-shaped landforms known as deltas.
4. Moraines:
- Moraines are ridges or mounds of rocks, debris, and sediment deposited directly by glaciers.
- They form when glaciers advance, carrying and depositing material, or when they retreat, leaving behind the accumulated debris.
5. Sand Dunes:
- Sand dunes are mounds or ridges of windblown sand that accumulate in deserts, coastal areas, or other arid environments.
- They are formed as wind carries and deposits sand particles, creating various dune types based on wind patterns and sand availability.
6. Loess Deposits:
- Loess is a fine-grained, windblown sediment deposited over vast areas.
- It is transported by the wind from sources like deserts or glacial deposits and accumulates on open landscapes, forming thick deposits.
7. Lava Domes and Flows:
- Lava domes are rounded, bulbous protrusions of viscous lava that builds up around volcanic vents.
- Lava flows are broad sheets of molten lava that emanate from volcanic eruptions and solidify as they cool.
8. Cinder Cones:
- These are small, steep-sided hills formed from the accumulation of cinder and volcanic fragments around a volcanic vent.
- They result from explosive eruptions that eject cinders and volcanic bombs.
9. Coral Reefs:
- Coral reefs are constructive organic structures built by colonies of coral polyps in warm, shallow marine environments.
- They are composed of calcium carbonate deposited by living corals, forming diverse reef structures, including barrier reefs, atolls, and fringing reefs.
10. Beach Ridges:
- Beach ridges are series of parallel sand ridges formed by the uprush and backwash of waves along shorelines.
- They are deposited as waves transport and accumulate sand in shallow water near the shore.
