particles of solid material that settle at the bottom of a liquid
sédiment
the process by which soil and rock are gradually destroyed and removed by natural forces such as wind, water, and ice
érosion
the scientific study of minerals, their composition, properties, and classification, often involving the analysis of crystal structures and the identification of various mineral species
minéralogie, étude des minéraux
the branch of geology that focuses on the study of rocks, their classification, composition, origin, and the processes involved in their formation
pétrologie, étude des roches
the scientific study of landforms, their origin, development, and classification, often examining the processes that shape the Earth's surface, such as erosion, deposition, and tectonic activity
géomorphologie, étude des formes du relief
a tapering, icicle-like mineral formation hanging from the roof of a cave or underground structure, typically composed of calcium carbonate deposited by dripping water containing dissolved minerals
stalactite, concrétion calcaire suspendue
a cone-shaped mineral formation rising from the floor of a cave or underground structure, formed by the deposition of minerals from dripping water containing dissolved substances
stalagmite, concrétion montante
