Geomorphology is the study of the physical, biological, and chemical processes that shape the Earth's surface, resulting in a variety of topographic and bathymetric features. It also examines the origin and evolution of these features. Research in geomorphology is supported by physical experiments, field observations and numerical modeling. This interdisciplinary field integrates concepts from geodesy, geology, engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, physical geography and archaeology. The primary forces driving the formation of Earth's topographic features include wind, surface water f...
Geomorphology is the study of the physical, biological, and chemical processes that shape the Earth's surface, resulting in a variety of topographic and bathymetric features. It also examines the origin and evolution of these features. Research in geomorphology is supported by physical experiments, field observations and numerical modeling. This interdisciplinary field integrates concepts from geodesy, geology, engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, physical geography and archaeology. The primary forces driving the formation of Earth's topographic features include wind, surface water flow, chemical dissolution, tectonism, volcanism, and glacial activity. Additional processes influencing these features include periglacial phenomena, marine currents, extraterrestrial impacts, salt-mediated processes, and fluid seepage through the seafloor. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of geomorphology. It outlines the processes and applications of the subject matter in detail. For all those who are interested in geomorphology, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
