Welcome to Chapter 1 of Physical Geography! Today we explore Geomorphology, the fascinating science that studies how Earth's surface features are formed. From towering mountains to winding rivers, geomorphology helps us understand the dynamic processes that continuously shape our planet's landscape over millions of years.
Earth's landforms are created by two opposing sets of forces. Endogenic forces originate from within the Earth, including tectonic plate movements that create mountains, volcanic eruptions that build new land, and earthquakes that reshape the surface. Exogenic forces come from external sources like weather, water, and wind that gradually wear down and erode these features through weathering and erosion processes.
Weathering and erosion are fundamental processes in geomorphology. Weathering breaks down rocks through physical forces like freeze-thaw cycles and root wedging, or chemical processes like oxidation and acid rain. Physical weathering creates cracks and fragments, while chemical weathering alters the rock's composition. Erosion then transports this weathered material through water flow, wind action, and glacial movement, continuously reshaping Earth's surface.
Earth's surface displays diverse landform types, each formed by different geological processes. Mountains include fold mountains like the Himalayas created by tectonic compression, block mountains formed by faulting, and volcanic mountains built by eruptions. Plateaus are elevated flat areas like the Deccan Plateau. Plains are low-lying flat regions including alluvial and coastal plains. Valleys are depressions between elevated areas, carved by rivers or glaciers over time.
