Geomorphology is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of the Earth's landforms, including the processes that shape them such as erosion, weathering, and tectonic activity. This field of study integrates concepts from geology, geography, and environmental science to understand how landscapes are formed and change over time. Geomorphologists use a variety of techniques such as field observations, remote sensing, and computer modeling to analyze and interpret landforms and their underlying processes. This research area is important for understanding natural hazards, resource management, and the impact of human activity on the Earth's surface.
