Geomorphology is the scientific study of landforms and the processes that shape them. This field covers a wide range of topics, including the study of rivers, mountains, glaciers, deserts, and coastal regions. Geomorphology is crucial for understanding Earth’s surface processes, landscape evolution, and the interaction between climate, tectonics, and erosion.
