Earthquakes

Reconstruction

Small tremors before a major earthquake are referred to as foreshocks. They occur before 70 percent of large seismic events, and to a lesser extent before smaller earthquakes.

The low bedrock ridges and peaks of a highly eroded basin and range desert landscape are called insellbergs. Deposits of windblown salt are called loess.

Primary waves (p waves)

This is known as the magnitude of the earthquake.

Yes, it is like a shrinking conveyor belt. If the conveyor belt stops moving, then it is no longer classified a glacier; it is then an ice field.

In regards to "sand dunes" they migrate in the direction of the wind as sand particles being individually light can travel on the wind in forms of "sand storms" and therefore migrate overtime, create new dunes or reshape existing dune structures by either adding or withdrawing sand from the wind directions movement.

The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.

there is little chemical weathering to round the landscapes
