How was the landform mushroom rock in Georgia formed?
The base area of the rock was eroded more quickly than the upper sections, by water or wind. The wind near the base is able to pick up grains of sand and rock, and chip away the rock more quickly (this is the basis of the process known as sandblasting). Toward the top, there is less erosion.
What does pictures of landforms formed by deposition look like?
Landforms formed by sedimentary processes tend to have layers of gravel, sand and silt lying parallel to each other, and mainly horizontal. Where these juvenile landforms have become formed into rock, they still preserve the original layering and order of layers. Often over very large areas. Commonly they will have beds of shells or other fossils, and sometimes beds of coal. Whether they are very fine, or sandy is determined by how close to the coast they were formed from their river mouth.
What kind of rock is formed from sediments deposited in bodies of water?

What landforms formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together and buckle?
