Features & Geographical Benefits
1. Dynamic reasons involving uplift or subsidence of land resulting in a change in base level. Such changes are mostly localized.
2. Eustatic reasons implying a worldwide change in sea level due to diastrophism or glaciation.
3. Static reasons, e.g. a reduction in river load or an increase in volume (due to precipitation or deforestation) may alter the rate of erosion.
4. Climatic reasons, such as aridity, glaciation etc.
