1. Memory Foundations for Geography Terms | 地理术语记忆基础
Break every term into its roots. Geography vocabulary is built from a small set of Greek and Latin stems: 'hydro' (water), 'lithos' (stone), 'bio' (life), 'geo' (earth), 'morph' (form), 'dem' (people), 'urb' (city), 'tect' (builder) and 'sed' (sitting). Once you own these stems, long words such as lithospheric or demographic stop being intimidating.
把术语拆成词根。 地理词汇由少量希腊语和拉丁语词干构成：hydro（水）、lithos（石头）、bio（生命）、geo（地球）、morph（形态）、dem（人口）、urb（城市）、tect（建造者）、sed（沉降）。掌握这些词干后，lithospheric（岩石圈的）、demographic（人口的）这类长词就不再可怕。
Visualise the process, not the word. For hydraulic action, picture a waterfall forcing air into a crack until the rock bursts. For longshore drift, picture sediment zig-zagging along a beach. For subduction, picture one plate diving under another into the mantle.
记住过程，而不是单词。 记 hydraulic action（水力作用）时，想象瀑布把空气压进裂隙直到岩石崩裂；记 longshore drift（沿岸漂移）时，想象沉积物沿海滩呈之字形移动；记 subduction（俯冲）时，想象一个板块斜插到另一个板块之下进入地幔。
Use silly stories and sound-alikes. 'Abrasion' hides the sound 'a bra'sion' - fabric rubbing against fabric, exactly what rocks do to a river bed. 'Attrition' begins with 'attack', so it means rocks attacking each other and rounding off. The sillier the image, the longer it sticks.
用荒诞故事和谐音。 Abrasion（磨蚀）里藏着 "a bra'sion" 的读音——布料互相摩擦，正如岩石刮擦河床。Attrition（磨损）以 "attack"（攻击）开头，意思是岩石互相撞击、磨圆变小。画面越荒诞，记得越久。
Anchor each term to a real place. The Giant's Causeway in County Antrim is your memorised image for columnar jointing and basaltic lava; the River Bann for meanders and floodplains; the Antrim coast for sea stacks and raised beaches.
把术语锚定到真实地点。 安特里姆郡的巨人之路（Giant's Causeway）是柱状节理与玄武岩熔岩的记忆图像；班恩河（River Bann）对应曲流与河漫滩；安特里姆海岸对应海蚀柱与上升海滩。
2. River Landforms and Hydrological Terms | 河流地貌与水文术语
Basin basics. A drainage basin is the area drained by a river and its tributaries. The watershed is the ridge separating two basins, the source is where a river begins, and the mouth is where it reaches the sea. A tributary joins at a confluence.
流域基础。 drainage basin（流域）是河流及其支流汇水排水的区域；watershed（分水岭）是分隔两个流域的山脊；source（源头）是河流起点；mouth（河口）是入海处；tributary（支流）在 confluence（汇流点）汇入主河。
Four erosion processes. Hydraulic action is the sheer force of water; abrasion is sediment scraping the bed and banks; attrition is the load colliding and rounding; solution is chemical corrosion of limestone and chalk. Transport works as traction, saltation, suspension and solution.
四种侵蚀过程。 hydraulic action（水力作用）是水流的纯粹冲击力；abrasion（磨蚀）是泥沙刮擦河床与河岸；attrition（磨损）是搬运物相互碰撞磨圆；solution（溶蚀）是石灰岩与白垩的化学溶解。搬运方式包括 traction（推移）、saltation（跃移）、suspension（悬移）和 solution（溶移）。
Landform pairs. Upper course: V-shaped valley, interlocking spurs, waterfall, gorge, pothole. Middle course: meander, point bar, river cliff, slip-off slope. Lower course: floodplain, levee, oxbow lake, delta, estuary.
地貌配对。 上游：V形谷、交错山嘴、瀑布、峡谷、壶穴。中游：曲流、凸岸滩、凹岸陡崖、滑走坡。下游：河漫滩、天然堤、牛轭湖、三角洲、河口湾。
Hydrograph vocabulary. Lag time is the gap between peak rainfall and peak discharge. The rising limb shows quickflow arriving; the recession limb shows baseflow draining away. Stormflow is the fast component, baseflow the slow one.
水文过程线词汇。 lag time（滞后时间）是降雨峰值与洪峰流量之间的时差；rising limb（涨水段）表示快速径流到达；recession limb（退水段）表示基流缓慢排出；stormflow（暴雨径流）是快速组分，baseflow（基流）是慢速组分。
3. Coastal Processes and Landforms | 海岸过程与地貌术语
Wave words. Fetch is the distance of open water over which wind blows. Swash is water rushing up the beach,
