Volcanic Geomorphology

Volcanic geomorphology studies the landforms created by volcanic activity over time. In historical geomorphology, it examines how these volcanic features, like mountains and craters, have evolved through eruptions, weathering, and erosion. This helps us understand the Earth's geological history and the processes that shape our landscape. By analyzing lava flows, ash deposits, and volcanic rocks, scientists can reconstruct past events, assess risks from future eruptions, and appreciate the dynamic nature of our planet's surface.
