Earth’s landscape is continually evolving as land uplifted by tectonic and volcanic processes is eroded by water, ice, and wind. On Earth, the dominant landforms have been produced by the action of rivers and glaciers transporting material from mountains to the sea. The amount and proportion of water and ice available for changing the landscape are both sensitive to climatic regime, so that a s...

Genesis and morphology of soil pendants in Quaternary landforms of Pabranagat Valley, Nevada

Interesting landforms created by an ancient network of earthworks are shown, using Google satellite imagery enhanced by an image processing. This network covers a large part of the land near the Titicaca Lake. Satellite images clearly display the slopes of hills criss-crossed with terrace walls and the surfaces of the plains covered with raised fields, indicating that this was once a highly pro...

Introduction: The recognition of groups of terrestrial climate-related landforms has led to the definition of different morphogenetic regions [e.g., 1-2] which have been classified in terms of both mean annual temperature and precipitation. Marchant and Head (2007) [3] used this approach to classify the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica (ADV) into three separate microclimate zones based on grou...

The geomorphological understanding of earth dynamics, including the relationship between landforms and their processes, was one earliest most specific contributions to disaster prevention. Disaster geomorphology is approaches in studies, which includes aspects landforms, results physical processes that have potential can cause disasters. landform risk factors turn natural hazards into disasters...

Abstract The period 1965–2000 saw a sustained increase in research and publications on fluvial processes landforms. trend towards generalization and/or mechanistic understanding, rather than site-specific history, continued. Research was multidisciplinary, with important contributions from hydraulic engineers, geologists physical geographers experimental theoretical approaches as well geomorpho...
