摘要: Geomorphology is a subdiscipline of geology and geography. It involves analysis surface features the earth those processes that create landforms landscapes. Since humans live, work, build, play on earth’s such endeavors inevitably produce changes to land-water ecosystem. Thus it common for geomorphologists take special interest in societal activities are designed modify natural processes. Mankind then becomes physical force topographic metamorphism along with other agents alter terrain…. running water, groundwater, shoreline glaciers, gravity, wind. Therefore, altogether appropriate necessary become involved government who authorized make decisions which may affect character topography materials comprise it.
