    Extractions: Overview of the Course Geomorphology is the study of landforms and landscapes and the processes that have shaped them. It is a basic science, driven in part by curiosity about the landscapes in which we live and the distinctive landforms that occur within them. Geomorphology also has important practical applications, however, and is essential to understanding many natural hazards and many forms of environmental change. An understanding of geomorphic processes is directly relevant to fields such as geotechnical and environmental engineering, sedimentology, soil science, and archaeology. Modern geomorphology is often highly quantitative, but direct observation of processes and landforms in the field is still an essential component of geomorphological research.

    Extractions: ONLINE TEXTBOOK GLOSSARY ... ABOUT STUDY GUIDE CHAPTER 10: Introduction to the Lithosphere Summary of the Chapter All landforms are composed of rocks or their weathered by products. Three main types of rocks can be identified on the Earth's surface: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. The rock cycle is a model that describes how various geological processes create, modify and influence rocks. The rock cycle suggests that all rocks originated from magma. This model also suggests that all rock types can be melted back into magma by tectonic forces that return rock to the mantle. Time has a unique meaning to geoscientists. To a geoscientist time is not measured in seconds, minutes or days, but in eons, eras, periods, and epochs. Each one of these units measures time according to major geologic events that have occurred over the 4.6 billion years of Earth history. When a geoscientist mentions the Cretaceous we know that this is a time period that occurred between 65 to 144 million years ago. Uniformitarianism is an important theory central to understanding in geology and geomorphology. This theory suggests that the continuing uniformity of existing geomorphic and geologic processes should be used as the intellectual framework for understanding the geologic history of the Earth. It rejects the idea that the landscape of the Earth is the result of catastrophic processes (e.g., the biblical flood).

    Extractions: Principal References Based upon original printed compilations by Ernst H. Kastning, Associate Professor of Geology, Radford University. Additional revsions and HTML programming by Ira Sasowsky and Paula Dungjen, Dept. of Geology, University of Akron. This bibliography provides a handy list of some important, standard references on karst and cave geology. Most works are in English, and this is not an exhaustive bibliography on the subject; however, it serves as a key to works that in turn lead the researcher to additional material. The intent is to provide a selected list of primary sources to those who are relatively unfamiliar with karst research. This edition contains 124 citations and 6 journals. Listings such as this one are inherently biased due to the background of the persons who compile them. Undoubtably many worthy publications have not been placed on this list. For this, we apologize, and hope that the presented list will be of use to those who view it. The bibliography is arranged as follows: Textbooks on karst and speleology Monographs that introduce the principles of karstic landform development, the origin of caves, and the geomorphic, hydrologic, and geochemical processes of karst. Emphasis is placed on texts originally written in the English language or on foreign language books translated into English.

53. Is Geomorphology Within Geography Or Geology?
    Extended discussion of the question whether geomorphology is a subdiscipline of geology or of physical geography.  
    http://www.staff.amu.edu.pl/~sgp/gw/gggeo/gggeo.html
    
    Extractions: Subject: geomorphology as a field of study I have a question for everyone. What do you say to the geologists who claim that there is no longer a need for the study of geomorphology, that it is nothing more than physical geology? Our school is in the process of a semester conversion, and the geomorphology course was a casulty of the process. Geology dropped it, but I was successful in adding it to the geography curriculum. There seems to be no small degree of antipathy toward the subject among the geologists here on campus. So, I wondered how others have handled the question. Thanks, Paul R. Larson Paul R.

    Extractions: Introduction Geomorphology Raster data files Vector data files ... Images Geomorphology Text Outline The Bathymetry of Lake Michigan [return to top of document] Bathymetry has been compiled using the entire array of good-quality historical hydrographic soundings collected in support of nautical charting over a 120-year period by the NOAA National Ocean Service and its predecessor agency for Great Lakes surveying, the Army Corps of Engineers. More than 600,000 bathymetric soundings were employed, of which approximately 60 per cent were already in digital form, 25 per cent were digitized in conjunction with this effort, and the remaining 15 per cent were available only on paper survey sheets. Density of tracklines is generally about 2000m for the open lake and ranges from 200m to 600m for nearshore areas. Soundings collected since 1903 were already reduced to the Lake Michigan mean low water datum; these were used for bathymetric contouring without further calibration or adjustments. Soundings collected prior to 1903 were reduced to the mean low water datum. In preparation for bathymetric contouring, digital soundings were converted to metric units and plotted in color; separate colors were assigned to the various depth ranges. From the paper sheets, contours in metric units were generated directly on overlays; these contours were then reduced to the compilation scale of 1:250,000 and incorporated into the map. Compilation sheets were then scanned and vectorized; and the resulting digital vector bathymetric contour data were used to generate the imagery shown on the large color plate. Images were constructed using the publicly-available software

    Extractions: A model is a simplified idealized representation of reality. The basic fluvial system can be represented as a model in order to help us understand its structure and processes. The basic fluvial system is often considered to be a drainage basin . Drainage basins differ in size and complexity, and are often subject to scale considerations. Often, a small

56. D&M Pyramid - Geomorphology
    The hypothesis that the D M Pyramid is the result of geomorphological processes requires that some mechanism be proposed to account for its formation.  
    http://users.starpower.net/etorun/pyramid/geomorphology.html
    
    Extractions: Fluvial Deposition/Erosion It is now almost universally accepted that liquid water once flowed on Mars, this belief supported by the discovery by the Mariner 9 mission As mentioned earlier, there is a theory that the basin north of Cydonia called Acidalia Planitia was once a shallow sea . There are features in the study area that are suggestive of lacustrine erosion, such as small craters with a "smudged" appearance that may at one time have been submerged and subject to shallow wave action. There are also some curvilinear features suggestive of lacustrine deposition. The D&M Pyramid, however, bears no resemblance to these features. Aeolian Deposition/Erosion Aeolian depositional landforms on Mars typically take the form of sand dunes which are morphologically similar to those found on Earth, and have been described by Breed, Grolier, and McCauley . Dunes may occur singly, in small groups, or in dune fields, and are transient in form and location. Dunes will occasionally form star-shaped dunes and crescent-shaped symmetrical dunes known as barchans, but no dune will ever form a symmetrical polyhedron resembling the one under study. Flat sides and straight edges are unobserved in terrestrial or Martian sand dunes. Another type of aeolian landform that can be somewhat pyramidal in shape are known as ventifacts. Terrestrial ventifacts are normally formed from small rocks that are exposed to the abrasive action of sand carried by the wind. Multifaceted terrestrial ventifacts are believed to have been produced as a result of movement of a rock causing it to present different faces to the direction of the prevailing winds, a process described by Sharp

57. Coastal Geomorphology & Habitats
    Coastal geomorphology Habitats. The following information was developed by the Michigan Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. Cobble Bedrock Beach  
    http://www.hillsdalecounty.info/planningeduc0025.asp
    
    Extractions: Top Cobble beach and bedrock beach are two rocky beach types that occur where limestone bedrock forms the shore of Lake Huron or Lake Michigan. From the air, this narrow beach zone is dramatically white due to the limestone cobblestones, boulders or fractured bedrock there. Occasionally cobble-bedrock beach areas include sandy beach or dunes in small sheltered bays where sand collects on top of cobbles. In other places sand is rare and huge boulders deposited by glaciers now lie exposed, hewn by wind and waves. The Great Lakes limestone that forms cobble-bedrock beaches is part of a large geologic formation called the Niagara escarpment. This formation is responsible for Niagara Falls to the east, the cliffs in Wisconsin's Door Peninsula to the west, and parts of the Upper Peninsula's southern shoreline. Limestone is chalky and calcium-rich and erodes to make soils that are highly alkaline. Such soils help provide habitat for a number of rare plants, some found only along northern Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. Only certain plants can survive in the chalky, calcium-rich soil on these rocky beaches, which are constantly exposed to wind, ice, changing lake levels and lapping waves. Perhaps one of the most beautiful plants of this shoreline is the dwarf lake iris, a rare species that typically grows immediately out of reach of high waters under conifer trees and shrubs on the edge of the beach. Another rare plant is Houghton's goldenrod, whose seeds germinate in shoreline cleared of competing plants. It typically likes bedrock cracks or the wet, sandy margins of cobble beaches. Orange lichen survives in this beach zone by hugging tightly to the tops of rocks, keeping a low profile against summer waves and winter ice. Animals utilize cobble-bedrock beach for many reasons. Birds perch in nearby trees from which they can fly to feed on insects, frogs or fish in neighboring marshes, swamps or forests. Mammals use the shoreline as a travel and feeding corridor.

59. Geomorphology In Austria And In The Alps
    Short discussions of several glacial and fluvial landforms.  
    http://www.8ung.at/geologie/egeomorp.htm
    
    Extractions: in Austria and in the Alps Ancient course of the Danube valley through the Bohemian Massif When the Alps collided with the B.M., it rose several hundred meters, producing vast amounts of erosional debris, which was sedimented in the Molasse Sea (S of the B.M.). When the sediments had filled up the basin (from W to E), river Danube drained the resulting plain. Different from today, it reached the sea N of Vienna (which is 1900km away from the sea today), without any need to use the Gap of Vienna. In the Miocene, the B.M. rose further, shifting its S rim to the S. This caused tremendous erosion and the slopes steepened. So far, the Danube could compensate the rise by erosion: It cut a small "canyon" through the B.M., flowing through today's Ysper Valley passing Laimbach and Poeggstall until it met the recent Danube Valley at Spitz (the Ysper Valley may have looked like today's Wachau, with steep slopes and water falls - the Ysper gorge remained). Later, the course to Spitz dried up, forcing the Danube to flow from Poeggstall through the Weiten Valley to Melk. Finally, it also left the Ysper Valley and found its recent course via Ybbs, Poechlarn, Melk, Spitz (Wachau) and Krems.
