Structural Geomorphology

Structural geomorphology is the study of how the Earth's surface shapes, like mountains and valleys, are influenced by underlying geological structures, such as faults and rock formations. In the context of historical geomorphology, it looks at how these structures have evolved over time and how they interact with processes like erosion, sedimentation, and tectonics. By understanding these relationships, we gain insights into the Earth's history, including landscape changes and natural hazards, helping us appreciate the dynamic processes that have shaped our environment over millions of years.
