Iran by using Sentinel-2 imagery as the foundational dataset and secondary data, such as the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), slope, aspect, flow accumulation, and curvature. We also intend to compare the effectiveness of Ground Control
Landform Types and their Features There are many types of landforms on the earth’s surface. Each of these is characterized by its slope, elevation, soil and rock type, stratification, and orientation. Aeolian Landforms Aeolian landforms are formed by the chemical and mechanical action of the win...
The upper part of a glacier is its accumulation zone, while the lower part is its ablation zone. The boundary between the two zones is called the firn limit. Over a period of years, depending on the amount of snowfall and seasonal temperatures, a glacier may gain more mass than it loses...

much of what we associate with that totality are actually semi-independent systems floating on or above the Earth's crust. In the case of a hard stop, those systems, along with everything on the surface — the planet's oceans, its atmosphere, and all of its buildings — would keep movin...
