Transportation in geography refers to the movement of materials from one place to another, which is a key process in shaping the Earth's landscape. It involves the shifting of rocks, sand, and other particles by agents such as rivers, wind, ice, or the sea. For example, a river can carry pebbles and sand from upstream to downstream, where they may eventually be deposited. Transportation is an important part of the erosion and deposition cycle, affecting how landforms like valleys, beaches, and sand dunes are created and how they change over time. Understanding transportation helps us learn how natural environments develop and how they might change in the future.
