Study Notes
Geomorphology
- The scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features is called geomorphology.
Associated Disciplines
- Geomorphology is closely associated with geology, geography, and other Earth sciences.
Surface Modification
- The combination of surface and geologic processes modifies Earth's surface.
Goals of Geomorphologists
- Geomorphologists seek to understand the formation and transformation of landscapes over time.
Interdisciplinary Contributions
- The field of geography contributes to research styles and interests within geomorphology.
