Geomorphology (from Ancient Greek γῆ (gê) 'earth'; μορφή (morphḗ) 'form' and λόγος (lógos) 'study') [2] is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features generated by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near Earth's surface.
Geomorphology publishes peer-reviewed works across the full spectrum of the discipline from fundamental theory and science to applied research of relevance to sustainable management of the environment.
Geomorphology is a branch of Earth science that focuses on the study of landforms, their origin, development, and classification. It examines the processes that shape the Earth’s surface, such as erosion, weathering, tectonic activity, and sedimentation.
Understanding Earth’s landforms – how they are formed, altered, des-troyed, and/or buried by various geologic processes – is at the core of geomorphology. This textbook will teach you the language and concepts that will help you to understand the workings of many of Earth’s physical systems.
According to Bloom (1992) the geomorphology deals with “the systematic description and analysis of landscapes and the processes that changed them”. Bloom added an important aspect in the definition of Geomorphology i.e., ‘Processes’ responsible for changing the landscapes.
Geomorphology, the discipline which analyzes the history and nature of the earth's surface, deals with the landforms produced by erosion, weathering, deposition, transport and tectonic processes.
Geomorphology is the study of landforms and landscapes on Earth and other planets, and the processes that shape them. This discipline is primarily concerned with the erosion and deposition of...
Geomorphology is the science that studies the origin and development of landforms (such as hills, valleys, sand dunes, caves), and how those landforms combine to form landscapes.
