This dimension credits the process that carved a body of water's own shape, whether erosion, glaciation or tectonic movement. Wikipedia describes erosion as "the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust and then transports it to another location where it is deposited," one of the most common shaping forces of all. Browsing by what shaped a body of water groups features carved by the same kind of natural process.
