Surface Processes and Landforms focuses on the cause and effect relationships that control geomorphic processes and examines the origins and development of the landforms they produce. Each chapter explores the chemistry and physics of a particular process and provides the student with examples and interpretative criteria. The qualitative and quantitative aspects of geomorphology are integrated throughout the text. Quantitative expressions are tied to qualitative logic, elucidating how geomorphic variables shape landforms.The text's coverage of basic material combined with the author's clear and concise writing style makes this an accessible text for a broad range of geology students. Outstanding photographic illustrations, low-angle oblique air photos, diagrams, satellite photos, and color photos are used in the text to provide students with an unparalleled view of interpretative geomorphology.
