Study Notes
Geomorphology Focus
- The study of the Earth's surface, its landforms, their origin, development, and processes that shape them.
Landform Terminology
- Landforms are the most relevant term to describe the shapes and features of the Earth's surface in geomorphology.
Excluded Processes
- Biogeochemical processes are typically not a primary focus of geomorphology. These processes primarily concern the movement of elements and compounds through living organisms and their environments.
Erosion's Influence
- The shape of landforms, the most prominent aspect studied in geomorphology, is heavily influenced by erosion.
Interdisciplinary Approach
- Geomorphology integrates various fields like geology, hydrology, climatology, soil science, and biology to understand the Earth's surface.
