Landscapes and landforms are expressions of geologic structure, processes, and time. Each landscape expresses certain physical similarities grouped into provinces based on geologic history, geologic structure, rock formations, and the processes which weather and erode landscapes based on climatic conditions. All factors play a role in shaping and sculpting landscapes and landforms.
Introduction to Geomorphology I reviews the geologic history behind each physiographic province providing typical and atypical photographic representations for each province recognized in the continental United States (126 photographs).
Introduction to Geomorphology II presents structures, landforms, and geologic processes presenting constructional (tectonic and volcanic landforms), destruction (weathering processes), erosional processes (mass wasting, hill slope evolution), fluvial (river), and coastal processes using many photographic examples for each subject presented.
