What is geomorphology?
• Why are some parts of the Earth mountainous and other parts much flatter?
• Why are the Himalaya so high?
• Why does part of the continental interior lie close to, or below, sea level?
• Where does all the sand in the Sahara come from?
• Are hazards like landslides getting more serious?
• How can we best conserve and manage landscapes?
 GEOMORPHOLOGY
• The word Geomorphology derived from
Greek: geo, “earth”; morfe, “form”; and
logos, “study” is the study of landforms and
the processes that create them.

• Science that studied of landforms, in recent

time especially, investigations into the
processes that cause and alter the
landforms.

• Geomorphology is practiced within physical

geology, engineering geology, structure
geology
Importance of Geomorphology

• To understand geomorphological processess of various

environment
• To detect natural and enviromental hazards efficiently, e.g.
earthquake, flooding, landslide, tsunami, volcanism etc
• To identify various landform features and landscape
• To identify various landforms features from satellite image
• Research
• etc
Landform features
Geomorphic Process
• The process responsible for the formatiom and alteration of
the earth surface
• The physical and chemical interactions between surface and
natural forces to produce landforms (Thornburry, 1968)
• The processes are determined by natural variables, such as
geology, cilmate, and vegetation
• The process by which the earth’s landforms are changed or
maintained (Jim Gardner, 1979)
Agents of Geomorphic Processes

• River – Humid Environment EROSION

• Wind – Arid Environment

TRANSPORTATION
• Glacier – Polar Environment

• Wave – Coastal Environment

DEPOSITION
Agents of change
 Concepts in Geomorphology
• Structure / systems
– “an assemblage of parts forming a whole”
– Landscapes evolve throughout time
– Rock mass (or unconsolidated material mass)
• Process Resulting
landform
– Constructive or destructive processes modern/relict
• Time
– Reshaping = "Evolution" of landforms/landscapes
– Critical factor in determining what the landscape looks like
Example

• Structure : Limestone Bedrock (Paleozoic)

• Process : Dissolution (Cenozoic)

• Time : 10,000 years ??

Structure?? Process?? Time??
Can you guys guess the geomorphology concepts??
What about this??

• Structure : Delta sediment

• Process : Deposition / erosion

• Time : 100 - 1000 years ??

10 key points that everyone should know about
geomorphology
Landscape are shape by movements of mass
Landscape shaping processes influenced by many factors

• Various tectonic, geological, climatic and ecological

factors provide major influences on geomorphological
processes and the movement of mass.
Landscape shaping processes at many different scales

v Bammelen, 1949
Earth’s landscape are dynamics
Landscape are dynamics are often complex
Landscape are archives of the Global Change
past
Human activity are influencing Earth landscapes are becoming
landscape dynamics more hazardouz

Estimates suggest that current

annual amounts of rock and soil
moved over Earth’s surface in
response to construction and
agricultural practices would fill
the Grand Canyon of Arizona
in about 50 years (Source:
Wilkinson, B.H. 2005. Humans
as geologic agents: a deep-
time perspective. Geology, 33,
161-164).
Successful Enviromental management needs geomorphological
knowledge
Application of Geomorphology
Application of Geomorphology
• Topographic & thematic mapping of natural resources
• Surveying of natural hazards, e.g. landslides, earthquake etc
• Rural development & planning: land utilization, channel
manipulation, river management
• Urbanization, mining & reconstruction
• Engineering design
