Geomorphology (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a detailed coverage of the landforms of the earth and the processes that shaped them. Some of these morphologies were formed during past geological periods under environmental conditions very different from those of today. Studying these morphologies makes it possible to infer environmental changes involving geological media, the climate, and human activity. The book explores multiple aspects of geomorphology and offers a methodological foundation to approach the study of its various branches. Applied aspects of geomorphology are included to give students insight into the activities of geomorphologists in the professional world.
