High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The physiographic regions of the world are a means of defining the Earth's landforms into distinct regions based upon Nevin Fenneman's classic three-tiered approach of divisions, provinces and sections, in 1916, which although they date from the mid 1910s, are still considered basically valid, and were the basis for similar classifications of other continents later. These works have been termed "Indespensible to any student of physiography are the maps and physiographic diagrams by Fenneman, Lobeck, Raisz, and Hammond". During the early 1900s, the st...
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The physiographic regions of the world are a means of defining the Earth's landforms into distinct regions based upon Nevin Fenneman's classic three-tiered approach of divisions, provinces and sections, in 1916, which although they date from the mid 1910s, are still considered basically valid, and were the basis for similar classifications of other continents later. These works have been termed "Indespensible to any student of physiography are the maps and physiographic diagrams by Fenneman, Lobeck, Raisz, and Hammond". During the early 1900s, the study of regional-scale geomorphology was termed "physiography". Unfortunately, physiography later was considered to be a contraction of "physical" and "geography", and therefore synonymous with physical geography, and the concept became embroiled in controversy surrounding the appropriate concerns of that discipline. Some geomorphologists held to a geological basis for physiography and emphasized a concept of physiographic regions while a conflicting trend among geographers was to equate physiography with "pure morphology," separated from its geological heritage.
