		Geomorphology, study of the landforms on the Earth's surface, their history, and the processes that mould them.
		Geomorphology is a component of both physical geography and of Earth science.
		There are many different approaches to geomorphology and these have varied in their importance from country to country and from decade to decade.

	Geomorphology for Students (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Geomorphology is the study of landforms, including their origin and evolution, and the processes that shape them.
		Geomorphology was not originally differentiated from the rest of geology.
		Modern geomorphology focuses on the quantitative analysis of interconnected processes, such as the contribution of solar energy, the rates of steps of the hydrologic cycle, and plate movement rates from geophysics to compute the age and expected fate of landforms.

	QG&G Committee on Applied Fluvial Geomorphology
		The integrated perspective of fluvial geomorphology, as well as the discipline’s rigorous understanding of the physical processes by which river channels are formed and maintained, and the importance of history and site-specific conditions, are critical to successful river management and restoration.
		Geomorphology is the study of earth-surface processes and landforms, and fluvial geomorphology focuses specifically on river processes and landforms.
		An important point of emphasis is that fluvial geomorphology is a highly specialized field within the earth sciences that requires mastery of a considerable background body of background knowledge in geology, geography and hydrology.

	geomorphology
		In addition to the natural processes that mould landforms, human activity can produce changes, either directly or indirectly, and cause the erosion, transportation, and deposition of rocks and soils, for example by poor land management practices and techniques in farming and forestry, and in the mining and construction industries.
		Geomorphology deals with changes in landforms from the present to the geologic past, and in spatial scales ranging from microscale to mountains.
		For example, the formation of mountain ranges takes place over millions of years, as the Earth's crust cools and solidifies and the resulting layers, or plates, are folded, uplifted or deformed by the seismic activity of the underlying magma (see plate tectonics).

		Geomorphology is the study of landforms and landscapes, including the description, classification, origin, development, and history of planetary surfaces.
		Geomorphology should not be viewed as a product of lithosphere processes but as part of an integrated earth-surface system of interacting "sphere": lithosphere, hydorsphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.

	geomorphology — FactMonster.com
		geomorphology, study of the origin and evolution of the earth's landforms, both on the continents and within the ocean basins.
		It is concerned with the internal geologic processes of the earth's crust, such as tectonic activity and volcanism that constructs new landforms, as well as externally driven forces of wind, water, waves, and glacial ice that modify such landforms.
		Geomorphology principles also have been applied to the study of landform development of other planets and moons of the solar system, based on images sent back to earth by flyby and orbiting satellites.

		Soil geomorphology is the accurate assessment of the genetic relationship of soils and landforms, which is possible only if their interdependence is recognized.
		Tectonic Geomorphology reviews the fundamentals of the subject which include the nature of faulting and folding, the creation and use of geomorphic markers for tracing deformation, chronological techniques which date deformation, geodetic techniques for defining recent deformation, and paleoseismologic approaches to calibrate past deformation.
		This invaluable overview of fluvial geomorphology provides river engineers and managers, who may lack specialist training, with useful insights into, and understanding of, natural channel forms and fluvial processes.

		Geomorphology is the study of landforms and the processes that shape them, and provides a diverse array of exciting research and learning opportunities.
		Our focus is on developing user-oriented approaches that reconstruct past land use and climate change impacts on hydrology, and allow evaluation of the impacts of different possible future land use scenarios.
		Our focus in glacial geomorphology is on using cosmogenic radionuclide approaches to understand how and when glacial landforms were produced by glaciers and ice sheets.
