- Morphology: the branch of geology that studies the characteristics and configuration and evolution of rocks and land forms
- (geomorphological) geomorphologic: pertaining to geological structure; "geomorphological features of the Black Hills"; "morphological features of granite"; "structural effects of folding and faulting of the earth's surface"
- Geomorphology (from Greek: u03B3u1FC6, ge, "earth"; u03BCu03BFu03C1u03C6u03AE, morfu00E9, "form"; and u03BBu03CCu03B3u03BFu03C2, logos, "study") is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features created by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near the Earth's surface...
- (Geomorphic) pertaining to forms on the surface of the earth and the processes that developed those forms. A geomorphic analysis considers of drainage patterns, river channels, floodplains, terraces and other watershed features and how they have changed over time.
- Science of landforms that studies the evolution of the Earth's surface and interprets landforms as records of geological history.
- The study of landforms on the earth's surface and processes of forming land.
- Natural land forms (that is, physical properties) of a place. Also called physiography.
- The study of the classification, description, nature, origin, and development of landforms and their relationship to underlying structures, and of the history of geologic changes as recorded by these surface features.
- The science of understanding landform formation.
