| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Geomorphology studies the various physical, biological and chemical processes that act on the Earth's surface to create a variety of topographic and bathymetric features. The study of the origin and evolution of these features is also under the scope of this field. Such studies are aided by physical experiments, field observations and numerical modeling. It is an integrated study of the disciplines of geodesy, geology, engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, physical geography and archaeology. The primary factors responsible for the creation of topographic features of the earth are the wind, surface water flow, chemical dissolution, tectonism, volcanism and glacial action. Some other processes affecting them include periglacial processes, marine currents, extraterrestrial impact, salt-mediated action and seepage of fluids through the seafloor. This textbook provides comprehensive insights into the field of geomorphology. It presents this complex subject in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. For all those who are interested in geomorphology, this book can prove to be an essential guide. |
