Trends in Geomorphology

Geomorphology is a fundamental branch of physical geography which helps us study landforms and the processes that shape them. Over the years, several trends in the field of geomorphology have influenced the way researchers approach and understand the Earth’s landforms and landscapes. These trends include cyclic, process, quantitative, and contemporary geomorphology.

Cyclic Geomorphology

The concept of Cyclic Geomorphology was presented by Sir William Morris. Cyclic Geomorphology or the geomorphic cycle is a conceptual framework, which describes that the landform develops as a result of sequential evolution over long time period through the interplay of endogenic forces (tectonic uplift) and exogenic forces (weathering and erosion). The cycle of erosion, where landforms progress, goes through distinct stages from “youth” to “old age” as they are shaped and eroded.
