The Fascinating World of Geomorphology: Unraveling Earth's Dynamic Landscapes

Dr. Michael Dang

Geomorphology is a branch of Earth sciences that focuses on the study of landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. It encompasses the investigation of various geological features such as mountains, valleys, rivers, glaciers, and coastlines, and aims to understand the underlying processes responsible for their formation and evolution. This abstract provides an overview of the field of geomorphology, highlighting its importance in understanding landscape dynamics, landform classification, and the influence of both natural and human-induced factors on Earth's surface. It emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of geomorphology, which draws upon knowledge from geology, geography, hydrology, climatology, and other related disciplines. Furthermore, this abstract emphasizes the relevance of geomorphological studies in various fields, including environmental management, hazard assessment, and the interpretation of Earth's past and future changes.
