In geology and geomorphology a pediplain (from the Latin pes, genitive case pedis, meaning "foot") is an extensive plain formed by the coalescence of pediments. [1] The processes through which pediplains forms is known as pediplanation . [ 2 ]

[29] [30] Nevertheless, interest in climatic geomorphology was also a reaction against Davisian geomorphology that was by the mid-20th century considered both un-innovative and dubious. [ 30 ] [ 31 ] Early climatic geomorphology developed primarily in continental Europe while in the English-speaking world the tendency was not explicit until L.C ...

In geomorphology, drainage systems, also known as river systems, are the patterns formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular drainage basin. They are governed by the topography of land, whether a particular region is dominated by hard or soft rocks, and the gradient of the land.
Sediments underlying fluvial terrace exposed in cutbanks along the Manú River, Peru. In geology, a terrace is a step-like landform. A terrace consists of a flat or gently sloping geomorphic surface, called a tread, that is typically bounded on one side by a steeper ascending slope, which is called a "riser" or "scarp".
Geomorphology (which focuses on the processes that modify the land surface) has a long history as a concept and area of study, with geomorphometry being one of the oldest related disciplines. [5] Geomatics is a more recently evolved sub-discipline, and even more recent is the concept of geomorphometrics.
