Geomorphology (from Ancient Greek γῆ (gê) 'earth' μορφή (morphḗ) 'form' and λόγος 'study') [2] is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features generated by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near Earth's surface.
In climatic geomorphology, morphoclimatic zones are areas which are characterised by landforms associated with a particular climate. The geomorphological processes involved with distinct climates can have large impacts on the near-surface geology of the area.
Climatic geomorphology is the study of the role of climate in shaping landforms and the earth-surface processes. [1] An approach used in climatic geomorphology is to study relict landforms to infer ancient climates. [1] Being often concerned about past climates climatic geomorphology considered sometimes to be an aspect of historical geology. [2]
Geomorphology (from the Greek words Ge = earth, morfe = form and logos = study) is the science of surface features and landforms including the forces and processes that create them. Geomorphology has strong ties to geologic structure, rock types, and local/regional climate.

The Vasquez Rock formations, located in the Sierra Pelona Mountains, were formed by tectonic activity along an offshoot of the San Andreas Fault.. Morphotectonics (from Ancient Greek: μορφή, morphḗ, "form"; [1] and τεκτονικός, tektonikos, "pertaining to building" [2]), or tectonic geomorphology, is a branch of geomorphology that studies how landforms are formed or affected by ...
