decline: sloping surface

deflation: dispersion of fine particles due to wind erosion in rocks.

delta: accumulations at the mouth of sediments in a river, sea or lake.

denudacion: processes that are responsible for the destruction of landforms through weathering,
erosion and transport.

deposits: sediments that have been transported and accumulated by one or more agents

depression: collapse of the earth's crust, with partial filling of sediments.

desert: place in which the rainfall is less than 100 mm per year.

sliding: Slow movement of one mass of material over another.

diapir: Folded structure, in which a saline body is formed by the rise of substances.

drainage divides: line connecting the highest points of the relief.

diatreme: Volcanic chimney, generally filled with volcanic gap.

dome: elevation in the form of a rounded arch, more or less isometric.

dune: mounds of sand that originate from wind accumulation in deserts.

eluvium: Product of the weathering of the rocks that remains in the place of its formation.

encasement: action of a river current that deepens into a box-like profile or embedded valley.

erosion: Wear of the earth's crust caused by the action of wind, rain, fluvial, maritime and glacial
processes, and by the action of living beings.

escarpment: steep slope, of variable height, which can be formed by different causes: tectonic, by
gravitational processes.

stria: small grooves in the rocks.

flank: Each of the two lateral parts of a rocky body.

gelifraction: The process of breaking the rocks by the force generated by increasing the volume of
the water when entering the solid state.

photogeology: methods to obtain geological information through the interpretation of aerial

photographs.
