Geomorphology is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of the relief features of the earth.

The American geologist William Morris Davis popularized the term 'geomorphology'.

The three Greek words that form the term 'geomorphology' are 'ge' (earth), 'morphe' (form), and 'logo' (a discourse).
