What is deposition for science?
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil, and rocks are controversial in its acceptance into mainstream coastal science as the theory.
Is plains and mountains the same thing?
No, plains and mountains are not the same thing. Plains are flat or gently sloping areas of land, while mountains are elevated landforms with steep sides and peaks. The two types of land features have distinct topography and geological characteristics.

What human factors shaping Moeraki Boulders?
There are none! The Moeraki Boulders were formed by geological processes (they are septarian concretions), lifted above sea level by further geological processes (the Kaikoura Orogeny) and then eroded from the mudstone cliffs primarily by coastal processes (wave action).
What factors affect tidal range?
Moon position, Sun position, seafloor topography, coastal landscape, and water depth. Winds can play a part too.
What are some examples of the geological erosion?
The shaping of the continents with the continent shift ,the cordilleran folds,the buckling of the earths crust to form the Himalaya mountains,opening up of drake passage,the melting of polar regions,the volcanic eruptions and lava flow. +++ Sorry but NONE of those are examples of erosion! With the exception of polar ice melting ( a meteorological mechanism) they are all examples of plate tectonic events. Examples of features formed by erosion are glacial and river valleys, coastal cliff topography, karst landscape, desert-environment topography such as mesas and wadis. Erosion itself is the removal of rock particles or solution, broken or dissolved from the parent rock by physical or chemical weathering.
What is the flat land region running from Texas to Florida?
The flat land region running from Texas to Florida is the Gulf Coastal Plain. The flat to rolling topography is broken by many streams, river riparian areas, and marsh wetlands.
