Global geomorphology : an introduction to the study of landforms / Michael A. Summerfield. - [Harlow, Essex, England) : New York : Longman Scientific & Technical ; Wiley, 1991. - xiv, 537 p. : ill., maps ; 27 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
1. Introduction 2. Endogenic Processes and Landforms 3. Exogenic Processes and Landforms 4. Endogenic-Exogenic Interactions 5. Extraterrestrial Landforms
The plate tectonics revolution in the earth sciences has provided a valuable new framework for understanding long-term landform development.
This innovative text provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject of global geomorphology, with the emphasis placed on large-scale processes and phenomena. Integrating global tectonics into the study of landforms and incorporating planetary geomorphology as a major component the author discusses the impact of climatic change and the role of catastrophic events on landform genesis and includes a comprehensive study of surface geomorphic processes.
