Penck Cycle of Erosion German geomorphologist Penck provided an alternative model of the cycle of erosion. It describes the cycle of erosion concerning Geomorphological phases. Phases are described concerning a balance between the rate of upliftment and to rate of erosion. The main goal of Penck’s model of the morphological system was to find out … Read more
DAVIS CYCLE OF EROSION William Morris Davis, an American geomorphologist, was the first geomorphologist to present a general theory of landform development. According to Davis landform and slope are a function of structure process and time. It is called the Trio of Davis. The landscape is a function of structure, process, and time. Structure –Structure … Read more
NORMAL CYCLE OF EROSION The cycle of erosion by fluvial processes (running waters or rivers) is called the normal cycle of erosion because fluvial processes are widespread and the most significant geomorphic agent. The normal cycle of erosion begins with the upliftment of any landmass concerning sea level. As the land rises, the rivers originate … Read more
EXOGENETIC FORCE The exogenetic force or process is also called a Denudational Process. These forces are also called destructive forces as these are engaged in removing surface irregularities in highlands and lowlands produced by endogenetic forms. This is also called the process of gradation. This process by removing highlands and depositing sediments in low lands … Read more
ENDOGENETIC FORCES Endogenetic forces are formed deep inside the earth, These forces are also called constructive forces as these forces are responsible for producing initial surface irregularities on earth in the form of highlands and lowlands. Landforms are classified into three categories based on their size and the processes involved in the formation of landforms: … Read more
Introduction: Fold Mountains are formed due to the folding of crustal rocks by compressive forces generated by endogenetic forces coming from within the earth. These are the highest and most extensive mountains in the world and are found on all the continents. The distributional patterns of the fold mountains over the globe denote the fact … Read more
BLOCK MOUNTAIN: Block mountains for example also known as fault-block mountains, are the result of faulting caused by tensile and compressive forces motored by endogenetic forces coming from within the earth. These mountains represent the upstanding parts of the ground between two faults or on either side of a rift valley or a graben. Essentially, … Read more
