Geomorphology: Unraveling the Earth's Sculpted Face

Dr. Krishna Kedia

Geomorphology is a branch of Earth sciences that focuses on the study of landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface over various spatial and temporal scales. It examines the interactions between geology, climate, hydrology, and biological factors that contribute to the formation, evolution, and modification of landscapes. Geomorphological research plays a crucial role in understanding natural hazards, land-use planning, environmental management, and the impacts of human activities on the Earth's surface. This abstract provides a concise overview of the fundamental concepts and applications of geomorphology, emphasizing its significance in comprehending the dynamic nature of our planet's topography and the processes driving its continuous evolution. Geomorphology is a branch of Earth science that investigates the dynamic processes shaping the Earth's surface and the evolution of landforms over various spatial and temporal scales. Through the study of geological processes, geomorphologists aim to understand the interactions between tectonics, climate, weathering, erosion, and sedimentation, which collectively influence the formation and modification of landscapes. This abstract provides an overview of the fundamental concepts and significance of geomorphology as an interdisciplinary field, highlighting its role in unraveling the complexities of natural landscapes and the implications for human activities and environmental management.
