Continental Margins

What is weathering and erosion at the edge of the continent? Weathering is essentially the decomposition and change of rocks and minerals on or near the surface of the earth and turn it into a more balanced product of the conditions seen in its environment. Erosion is "removal of weathered rocks by moving water, wind, ice or gravity" (Thomas and Turks). By combining these two processes you can make the surface of the earth look like today. Weathering is a process that occurs most of the time with little or no decomposition of minerals and movement of rocks.

Blaki: A little. I like to use craquelure filters. It actually gives you some uplift and valleys. I will use it especially for the edge of the continent. The edge of the continent is not a regular slope until it is deep into the deep ocean. They are very irregular. Landslides and all kinds of things are on the edge, so I added some cracked texture. Blakey: Yeah, I think if you are asked why you are interested in it, you should say it at once. Because I am very interested in the artistic aspects of geology. Generally speaking, the artistic aspect of science, especially geology. For example, astronomy will be another useful field for artistic visualization - whenever you want to show something that can not be visualized with comparable things on the earth today, for art, You must use

On the mainland - the devastating edge of the continent formed the continental island arc, and a lot of the world's most intense volcanoes were found on top of it. The "Pacific Ring" is dominated by destructive margins and the young and dense oceanic crust is forced to sink below the more active and continental plate. As the Nazca plate steeped down the South American Plate, the Andean was formed. Destructive edges feature many unique features. That is, deep grooves, hyperplastic wedges and surrounding mantle. Also, the development of mountain ranges, the decoration of active volcanoes. When the oceanic crust and the surrounding lithosphere subducted below the continental plate, a deep-sea trench was formed. You can observe how grooves move with time due to the deposition of animation subduction plate deposits.
