General knowledge useful for competitive exams       

The water remains in the left cylindrical part, it is called cylindrical lake.  Sometimes the river seems to flow out of its banks.  The result is the deposition of silt and other substances in nearby areas.  These are called flood plains.  This forms a flat fertile floodplain, when large silt-soil deposits on both sides of the river form several long and low elevation patterns, called natural embankments.  The flow of the river slows down until the sea reaches the formation of a cylindrical lake Nagakar Sarovar.  And the river splits into several streams which are called branch flood plains.  Here the speed of the river slows down  It happens that it starts to deposit silt, sand, clay and other objects that have been brought with it.  Each branch forms its own mouth. 



The amount of deposition of all the mouths forms the flood plain and embankment of the delta.  Function of ocean waves: The erosion and deposition of ocean waves form the landforms of the coast.  The waves of the ocean constantly collide with the rocks causing cracks.  Periodically it becomes larger and wider.  It is called Samudrigufa.  As the caves get bigger, only the roof remains.  Which forms the coastal (arch) arch.  The constant downpour also breaks down the roof and leaves only the walls.  This wall-like terrain is called a 'stack'.  

The high rocky shores that rise almost above sea level are called seawalls.  Sea waves form deposits on the shore to form sea pulleys.  Glacier Function: Glaciers form glaciers in glacial mountainous areas.  Glaciers erode round clay and rocks from the lower solid rocks to form a distinctive or globular terrain, forming a U 'shaped valley through glacier erosion.  The melting glaciers form a tarn in the ravines in the mountainous areas.  Glacier-like objects such as small and large rocks, sand and gravel are deposited to form a hilly ‘drumlin’ land in the middle of its flow.  Wind function: In desert, wind is the main factor of erosion and deposition, the wind settles the lower part more easily than the upper part of the rocks, hence the base of such rocks is narrow and the head is large.  The desert has terracotta-shaped cliffs, commonly called terrestrial rocks.  This form of land is called Bhuchatra Khadak, which carries sand from one place to another with the speed of wind.  When this type of sleep is found in the deserts of Rajasthan, it is carried away, when these soil particles are deposited in a large area, it is called ‘loess’.  Large loess deposits are found in China.  DARO sand dunes
