Weathering processes and usually in conjunction with other denudation processes such as water and wind erosion and mass wasting results in the formation of various landscapes.
In temperate and tropical latitudes these include:

1.Inselbergs/Monadnocks

Earth movements (plate tectonics) create and lead to the development of the earth’s major landforms for example block mountains, volcanic cones, lava plateaus and rift valleys.
As soon as they are formed denudation processes […]

Common types of faults.

Common types of faults. Image via Noaa.gov ZIMSEC O Level Geography Notes: Faulting.

Lateral earth movements often produce very great stresses due to compressional forces (when plates move towards one another) and tensional forces (pulling apart).
These forces can cause fractures or breaks in the earth’s crust.
When breaks […]

Tectonic movements are those movements that result from the earth’s internal forces.
When forces move horizontally towards one another they are known as compressional.
Rocks that make up the earth’s crust are subjected to these compressional forces in a […]

In a divergence zone plates move away from one another thus the name “divergence.”
Magma up-wells from the mantle to fill the gap left by the diverging plates.
The magma provides new material to form […]
