1. Geomorphology: Geomorphology (from Ancient Greek: γῆ, gê, "earth"; μορφή, morphḗ, "form"; and λόγος, lógos, "study") is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features created by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near Earth's surface. Geomorphologists seek to ... (Physics) [100%] 2023-12-19 [Geomorphology] [Earth sciences]...
2. Geomorphology: Geomorphology (from Ancient Greek: γῆ, gê, "earth"; μορφή, morphḗ, "form"; and λόγος, lógos, "study") is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features generated by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near Earth's surface.

3. Geomorphology: The word "Geomorphology" is derived from the Greek words γη, ge, "earth"; μορφή, morfé, "form"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge". A simple definition is "The form of the earth, the general configuration of its surface, and the changes that take place in the evolution of ... [100%] 2024-01-02
4. Sor (geomorphology): A sor (Kazakh: сор; Turkmen: шор) is a closed drainless depression characteristic of the Central Asian deserts, found especially in Kazakhstan. The sor area is seasonally flooded, forming a lake, which becomes an inland salt marsh and then a salt flat as ... (Earth) [70%] 2023-12-19 [Geomorphology] [Lacustrine landforms]...
5. Flatiron (geomorphology): Traditionally in geomorphology, a flatiron is a steeply sloping triangular landform created by the differential erosion of a steeply dipping, erosion-resistant layer of rock overlying softer strata. Flatirons have wide bases that form the base of a steep, triangular ... (Geomorphology) [70%] 2023-05-22 [Mountain geomorphology] [Structural geology]...
6. Climatic geomorphology: Climatic geomorphology is the study of the role of climate in shaping landforms and the earth-surface processes. An approach used in climatic geomorphology is to study relict landforms to infer ancient climates. (Earth) [70%] 2024-01-02 [Climatology] [Geomorphology]...
7. Moulin (geomorphology): A moulin (or glacier mill) is a roughly circular, vertical (or nearly vertical) well-like shaft within a glacier or ice sheet which water enters from the surface. The term is derived from the French word for mill. (Earth) [70%] 2022-11-05 [Glaciology] [Glacial landforms]...

9. Blowout (geomorphology): Blowouts are sandy depressions in a sand dune ecosystem (psammosere) caused by the removal of sediments by wind. Commonly found in coastal settings and margins of arid areas, blowouts tend to form when wind erodes patches of bare sand on ... (Earth) [70%] 2023-07-13 [Aeolian landforms] [Erosion]...
10. Drainage system (geomorphology): In geomorphology, drainage systems, also known as river systems, are the patterns formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular drainage basin. They are governed by the topography of land, whether a particular region is dominated by hard ... (Geomorphology) [57%] 2023-11-19 [Drainage basins] [Geomorphology]...

12. Head cut (stream geomorphology): A head cut (alternately headcut), in stream geomorphology, is an erosional feature of some intermittent and perennial streams. Headcuts and headward erosion are hallmarks of unstable expanding drainage features such as actively eroding gullies. (Earth) [50%] 2023-09-26 [Geomorphology] [Fluvial landforms]...
