Erosion
Water, especially in the form of streams and rivers originating from torrents, causes significant erosion. Different forms of erosion create inequalities in the ground, resulting in various landforms:
- Scarps, Waterfalls, and Chimneys: Differential erosion creates these features.
- Grooves and Gullies: Streams widen existing rows and form a network of gullies, eventually leading to valleys.
- V-Shaped Valleys: Rivers deepen their channels, carving out valleys with

1. What is the Data Link Layer?
The data link layer provides a means to exchange data using common local media. It performs two basic services:
- Allows the upper layers to access the media using techniques such as frames.
- Controls how data is placed in the media and received from the media using techniques such as access control methods and error detection.
2. Structure of a Frame
