Product Description:This extensively revised and updated edition continues to present an
engaging and comprehensive introduction to the subject, exploring the
world’s landforms from a broad systems perspective. It reflects on the
latest developments in the field and includes new chapters on geomorphic
materials and processes, hillslopes and changing landscapes.
Fundamentals of Geomorphology is an engaging and comprehensive
introduction to geomorphology. Starting with a consideration of the
nature of geomorphology and the geomorphic system, geomorphic materials
and processes, and the quest of process and historical geomorphologists,
it moves on to discuss:
• Structure: landforms resulting from, or influenced by, the endogenic
agencies of tectonic and volcanic processes, geological structures, and
rock types.
• Process and form: landforms resulting from, or influenced by, the
exogenic agencies of weathering, running water, flowing ice and
meltwater, ground ice and frost, the wind, and the sea.
• History: Earth surface history, giving a discussion of Quaternary
landforms and ancient landforms, including the origin of old plains,
relict, exhumed, and stagnant landscape features, and evolutionary
aspects of landscape change.
Fundamentals of Geomorphology provides a stimulating and innovative
perspective on the key topics and debates within the field of
geomorphology. Written in an accessible and lively manner, it includes
guides to further reading, chapter summaries, and an extensive glossary
of key terms. The book is also illustrated throughout with over 200
informative diagrams and attractive photographs, including a colour
plate section
