overview
The goal of this course is to help
you understand how landforms develop. The term geomorphology is often used for
the topic.
- This knowledge is an essential
part of our comprehension of the world because of the many ways in which landforms
affect the human and non-human environments.
- The skills involved in landform
study are important because they are so easy to generalize to other inquiries:
the basic lesson is that we can teach ourselves about the world through our
own powers of observation and analysis.
