Understanding Geomorphology
Understanding Geomorphology
The Earth’s surface is affected by a combination of surface and geologic processes that shape landscapes and coastal geography. Such processes cause tectonic uplift and subsidence. The varied topographies of the Earth reflect the intersection of surface and subsurface action. The field concerned with the study of the origin and evolution of such bathymetric and topographic features of the Earth is known as geomorphology. Surface processes, such as wind, waves, groundwater movement, glacial action, volcanism, tectonism, etc. are responsible for most of Earth’s topographic features. The history of Earth’s landscapes, their shape and change in time are understood through a combination of physical experimentation, field observations and numerical modelling. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of geomorphology. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on geomorphology have been included herein. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
