Aeolian processes

Aeolian processes, also spelled eolian, pertain to wind activity in the study of geology and weather and specifically to the wind's ability to shape the surface of the Earth (or other planets). Blowout (geomorphology) and Aeolian processes are Aeolian landforms and Geomorphology.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Aeolian processes

Ammophila (plant)

Ammophila (synonymous with Psamma P. Beauv.) is a genus of flowering plants consisting of two or three very similar species of grasses.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Ammophila (plant)

Climate

Climate is the long-term weather pattern in a region, typically averaged over 30 years.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Climate

Climate variability and change

Climate variability includes all the variations in the climate that last longer than individual weather events, whereas the term climate change only refers to those variations that persist for a longer period of time, typically decades or more.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Climate variability and change

Depression (geology)

In geology, a depression is a landform sunken or depressed below the surrounding area. Blowout (geomorphology) and depression (geology) are depressions (geology).

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Depression (geology)

Desiccation

Desiccation is the state of extreme dryness, or the process of extreme drying.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Desiccation

Dune

A dune is a landform composed of wind- or water-driven sand. Blowout (geomorphology) and dune are Aeolian landforms.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Dune

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by John Wiley & Sons on behalf of the British Society for Geomorphology.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Earth Surface Processes and Landforms

Ecological succession

Ecological succession is the process of change in the species that make up an ecological community over time.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Ecological succession

Fauna

Fauna (faunae or faunas) is all of the animal life present in a particular region or time.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Fauna

Flora

Flora (floras or florae) is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring (indigenous) native plants. The corresponding term for animals is fauna, and for fungi, it is funga.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Flora

Grassland

A grassland is an area where the vegetation is dominated by grasses (Poaceae).

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Grassland

Habitat

In ecology, habitat refers to the array of resources, physical and biotic factors that are present in an area, such as to support the survival and reproduction of a particular species.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Habitat

Lava lake

Lava lakes are large volumes of molten lava, usually basaltic, contained in a volcanic vent, crater, or broad depression.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Lava lake

Pioneer species

Pioneer species are resilient species that are the first to colonize barren environments, or to repopulate disrupted biodiverse steady-state ecosystems as part of ecological succession.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Pioneer species

Psammosere

A psammosere is the sequence of plant succession in stages, initiated on sand.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Psammosere

Sand dune ecology

Sand dune ecology describes the biological and physico-chemical interactions that are a characteristic of sand dunes.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Sand dune ecology

Sand dune stabilization

Sand dune stabilization is a coastal management practice designed to prevent erosion of sand dunes.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Sand dune stabilization

Sediment

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Sediment

Sediment transport

Sediment transport is the movement of solid particles (sediment), typically due to a combination of gravity acting on the sediment, and the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Sediment transport

Shear stress

Shear stress (often denoted by, Greek: tau) is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Shear stress

Topography

Topography is the study of the forms and features of land surfaces. Blowout (geomorphology) and Topography are Geomorphology.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Topography

Volcano

A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Volcano

Wind

Wind is the natural movement of air or other gases relative to a planet's surface.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Wind

Wind speed

In meteorology, wind speed, or wind flow speed, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Wind speed

Windward and leeward

In geography and seamanship, windward and leeward are directions relative to the wind.

See Blowout (geomorphology) and Windward and leeward
