Folding Process in which crustal rocks are distorted by compressional forces by being caused to bend upwards and downwards.It occurs on fairly young sedimentary rocks. Parts of a Fold (a) Anticlines (upfolds)-parts of the earths surface which bend upwards when
What are Faults? Faults are fractures or cracks that develop in the crust. Parts of a Fault 1. Upthrow – part of the land displaced upwards.2. Downthrow – part of the land displaced downwards.3. Throw – vertical displacement.4. Heave – horizontal displacement5. Hade – inclination of fault to vertical plane6. Fault
Introduction to Internal Land Forming Processes Processes operating in the interior of the earth resulting in the formation of natural physical features or landforms.They are caused by earth movements.Examples of these processes are folding, faulting and volcanicity.Formation of land forms by

Fluid Flow: Introduction – Fluid in physics refers to liquids and gases. To study fluid flow we have to make the following assumptions: Streamline and Turbulent Flow – The path followed by a small element of a moving fluid is
Sound: Introduction – Sound is an important example of a longitudinal wave which is composed of both compressions and rarefactions.– The frequency range in which compressional disturbances occur is called the sonic spectrum and is very large.– Compressional waves with
