Interesting geography facts – Physical geography

This animation presents some interesting facts in physical geography.

Icebergs

Icebergs are blocks of frozen freshwater floating in the sea.

Layers of the ocean

Physical properties, as well as the flora and fauna of the ocean change with depth.

Tsunami

Tsunami waves are very high waves of immense destructive power.

Ocean currents

The Great ocean conveyor is a planet-wide system of ocean currents, which has a great influence on the Earth´s climate.

Cloud formation, types of clouds

Evaporating surface water forms clouds of various shapes from which water falls back to the surface as precipitation.

Hotspots

Hotspots are areas of the Earth´s crust where magma often rises to the surface and causes volcanic activity.

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents

A hydrothermal vent is a fissure in the planet's surface through which geothermally heated water erupts.

Lightning

Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge accompanied by a sound known as thunder.

How do seas shape the Earth's surface?

Seawater, as an external force, plays an important role in shaping coastlines.

Rivers and landforms

Rivers play an important role in shaping the Earth's surface: they cause erosion as well as carrying and depositing sediment.

Faulting (intermediate)

Vertical forces can break up layers of rock into fault blocks, which then move vertically along the fracture planes.

Earthquake

An earthquake is one of the most devastating natural phenomena.

Aeolian landforms in deserts

Wind, as an external force, plays an important role in shaping deserts.

Altitudinal zonation

In mountainous areas the climate, soil properties, the flora and fauna change depending on elevation.

The development of lakes

Standing bodies of water can form in depressions on the surface by both endogenic and exogenic forces, as well as by human activity.

Tornadoes

Short-lived but extremely powerful tornadoes can cause a great deal of damage.

The water cycle (intermediate)

Water on Earth is in a continuous state of change. The water cycle includes processes such as evaporation, precipitation, melting and freezing.
