Erosion surface, the Glossary
In geology and geomorphology, an erosion surface is a surface of rock or regolith that was formed by erosion and not by construction (e.g. lava flows, sediment deposition) nor fault displacement.[1]

Abrasion (mechanical)
Abrasion is the process of scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, or rubbing away.
See Erosion surface and Abrasion (mechanical)
Coral
Corals are colonial marine invertebrates within the class Anthozoa of the phylum Cnidaria.
Erosion
Erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust and then transports it to another location where it is deposited. Erosion surface and Erosion are geomorphology.
See Erosion surface and Erosion
Fault (geology)
In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements.
See Erosion surface and Fault (geology)
Geology
Geology is a branch of natural science concerned with the Earth and other astronomical objects, the rocks of which they are composed, and the processes by which they change over time.
See Erosion surface and Geology
Geomorphology
Geomorphology (from Ancient Greek:,, 'earth';,, 'form'; and,, 'study') is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features generated by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near Earth's surface.
See Erosion surface and Geomorphology
Human impact on the environment
Human impact on the environment (or anthropogenic environmental impact) refers to changes to biophysical environments and to ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources caused directly or indirectly by humans.
See Erosion surface and Human impact on the environment
Hydraulics
Hydraulics is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry, and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids.
See Erosion surface and Hydraulics
Idaho
Idaho is a landlocked state in the Mountain West subregion of the Western United States.
Inagua
Inagua is the southernmost district of the Bahamas, comprising the islands of Great Inagua and Little Inagua.
See Erosion surface and Inagua
Laser scanning
Laser scanning is the controlled deflection of laser beams, visible or invisible.
See Erosion surface and Laser scanning
Lava
Lava is molten or partially molten rock (magma) that has been expelled from the interior of a terrestrial planet (such as Earth) or a moon onto its surface.
Nationalencyklopedin
("The National Encyclopedia" in English), abbreviated NE, is a comprehensive contemporary Swedish-language encyclopedia with several hundred thousand articles.

Pediplain
In geology and geomorphology a pediplain (from the Latin pes, genitive case pedis, meaning "foot") is an extensive plain formed by the coalescence of pediments. Erosion surface and pediplain are erosion landforms.
See Erosion surface and Pediplain
Peneplain
In geomorphology and geology, a peneplain is a low-relief plain formed by protracted erosion. Erosion surface and peneplain are erosion landforms and geomorphology.
See Erosion surface and Peneplain
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena.
See Erosion surface and Photogrammetry
Planation surface
In geology and geomorphology a planation surface is a large-scale land surface that is almost flat with the possible exception of some residual hills. Erosion surface and planation surface are erosion landforms, geomorphology and geomorphology stubs.
See Erosion surface and Planation surface
Recession
In economics, a recession is a business cycle contraction that occurs when there is a general decline in economic activity.
See Erosion surface and Recession
Regolith
Regolith is a blanket of unconsolidated, loose, heterogeneous superficial deposits covering solid rock. Erosion surface and Regolith are geomorphology.
See Erosion surface and Regolith
Rock (geology)
In geology, rock (or stone) is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter.
See Erosion surface and Rock (geology)
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 Erosion surface and Sediment
The Bahamas
The Bahamas, officially the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is an island country within the Lucayan Archipelago of the Atlantic Ocean.
See Erosion surface and The Bahamas
Unconformity
An unconformity is a buried erosional or non-depositional surface separating two rock masses or strata of different ages, indicating that sediment deposition was not continuous.
See Erosion surface and Unconformity
