Introduction

Geomorphic agents such as running water, ice and wind create various landforms in the course of their movement leading to vivid topography on the Earth's surface.

Main Body

Different agents leave imprints:

1. Running water created U-shaped pools, deltas and fast flowing rivers create stepped river bed from early to overture.

2. Wind created dunes, plateaus, bajadas and bardhans primarily in deserts

3. Leisture, ice or glacial action created several landform.

Different landforms by glacial action:

Aretes or longitudinal sharp features as the glacier starts getting eroded.
U-shaped valley that the glacier created in its movement (middle stage).
Glacial loges - formed due to melting or retreat of glacier from original area - formed by earthen debris.
Glaciers also create fiords at their snout which are mostly found in the Scandinavian countries.
