Back to Fluvial landform
- A bench or benchland is a long.
- Relatively narrow strip.
- Gently inclined land.
- That is bounded by distinctly steeper slopes above and below.
- Benches have different origins.
- Created by very different geomorphic processes.
01.The differential erosion of rocks/sediments of varying hardness.
Resistance to erosion.
Can create benches.
Earth scientists called benches "structural benches."
02. Other benches are narrow fluvial terraces.
Created by the abandonment of a floodplain by a river/ stream.
Entrenchment of the river valley.
03.Bench is narrow flat area.
Seen at the base of a sea cliff.
Created by waves/ physical ,chemical erosion.
These benches referred to as;
coastal benches
wave-cut benches
wave-cut platforms
