Depositional Landforms

Depositional landforms are features created by the accumulation of materials like soil, sand, and rocks, often transported by wind, water, or ice. These landforms develop when natural forces slow down, allowing sediments to settle and build up. Common examples include beaches, deltas at river mouths, and sand dunes. Over time, these features can change due to ongoing processes like erosion or human activity, but they play an essential role in shaping our landscape and supporting ecosystems. Understanding them helps us appreciate the dynamic nature of Earth's surface.
