Geomorphology

Van Zuidam

Use of the name as a geomorphological landforms caused displeasure on physiographic terminology that has evolved first. physiographic sense used in Europe as well as incorporating elements - elements of climate, meteorology, marine and mathematical geography. geomorphology is a major geological side, despite the fact that in Europe, America and Indonesia mistaken as physical geography.
geomorphology in environmental geology underdeveloped, due to the more developed environment for the development of geographic location, use the place as well as hydrology, but some geologists have assumed that geomorphology is a side of the field of geography, even though satellite technology resource record that is now developing earth's surface as well as portraits show face of the earth every day, up to now must use a satellite imagery expert must relearn geology geomorphology.

1. understanding geomorphology
geomorphology comes from the ancient Greek language, consisting of three roots, namely ge (o) = earth, morphe = form danlogos = science, geomorphology word can be summed up as a form of science that study the earth's surface. come from the same language, the word meaning the science of geology has learned about the formation of the earth with the total system.
definition; geomorphology learn about the science that form the earth's surface and the system - the system that runs on the surface of the earth since the earth was formed until now
the meaning and definition of geomorphology, the science of geomorphology is the study of the earth's geological approach to the earth in such form and in such earth architecture. geomorphological study destination in the geological environment in accordance with the motto hutton, that the present is the key to the past (this time period then that is the key). understanding the present (the present) is a form of understanding in a way that could make the earth a reflection of the system running in the future then.

desired benefits of studying geomorphology helpful to trace the system - the system that runs on the earth since the formation of Earth to date with the approach of the earth in such a form that looks at this time, until the geological research can be done quickly and cheaply.

2. basic plan geomorphology
geological landform that is the phenomenon that has been developed and contemplated by some expert of ancient philosophy and not just make a statement '"now and then so the key period", but the system's geomorphology now have the very important meaning, because talks about systematic geomorphological evolution is not just going in the early 19th century, but goes so far.

 3. Hutton the predecessorcrushing plan in place in the mind sharp and fit of the landscape need to be rethought by some thinkers as the basic foundation of modern geomorphology. some ancient thinkers who think about the destruction of the place by erosion system, thinking that cooking does not have to make a decent summary (logic). area and time are not given the discretion to review the long period of change and short period for review of geological thought about that so the work concerning the earth (ground work) to the father of modern geomorphology like james hutton, but footsteps are followed by most people.Leonardo Da Vinci (1452 - 1519) was among the first group who compiled geological thinking and saying (chorley et al, 1964) that has developed a brilliant mind in his day, up to a peak brilliance of some previous thinkers. leonardo da vinci said that the valley was cut by currents, and currents carry material from the surface of the earth in the area and then deposited on the area.

Buffon (1707 - 1788) of the French said the current power that can erode and cause damage to the place, after the flattening that has ended with the same altitude to sea level.targioni and tozetti (1712 - 1784) of the Italian said disaster erosion by currents and interrupted his thoughts about the river rocks associated with tertoreh and introduce basic - basic differences erosion is influenced by various types of geologic materials, and geologic structure.

Guetthard (1715 - 1786) of France, subject to review by the current degradation in the mountains, and said that not all material moved by currents transported to the sea, but only some of the material transported by the flow reaching the coastal plain. also that the ocean is a huge destructive force in place, after which the ocean currents as well as the destroyer said to be very fast on steep beaches in France as proof of his statement.

Desmarest (7125 - 1815) voiced his thoughts about the French valleys are the result of current activities as well as browse perkemba step with the evolution of the landscape.

De Saussure (1740 - 1799) of the swiss alpine valley said that the activity is the result of the erosion of the current flowing from the top of the mountains and the valley flows follow. after it was explained also that glaciation (ice melt) could be a trigger factor for the continuing erosion.

James hutton (1726 - 1797) who was born in edinburgh, scotland, a physics expert, but more like science and science, especially chemistry and geology. is very popular due to its role as a pioneer of the popular plutonian with igneous granite and contrary to some expert from the popular wernerian schools as having penganutneptunis assumption that the chemical composition of granite has a womb. not only a review of granite, metamorphic rocks hutton also introduced, but the popular statement that the present plan is the key to the past (this is a key time now and then), until the uniformitarian doctrine contrary to katastropisma plan. theory that the earth contains legal assessment plan composition, dissolution and restoration places on earth in 1795 was published in two volumes under the title: theory of the earth, with proofs and illustrations.

John Playfair (1748 - 1819), a professor of mathematics and philosophy in edinburgh, scotland, after the death of james hutton in 1802 published a book with the title: Huttonian illustration of the theory of the earth, a style of scientific prose is careful and clear, to rare similarities. Playfair concludes the thought - the thought hutton clearly had a huge impact, especially on a pioneer Sir Charles Lyell uniformitarian. hutton research says that the system then until the time period is still ongoing, the place eroded by mechanical and chemical systems, which at first was in meticulous but one, if desmarrest who see the signs - the signs are explained by hutton. river system plan and a very significant geomorphological already well advanced by Playfair added from the beginning as well as a statement as follows:each consisting of a river that seemed the main branching, a branching stem from the diverse and individual - each flowing in the valley according to the size, shape valley systems are interlinked to one another, according to the slope dialirinya and may not be able to take drainage when each - each valley has no current flowing in the valley.when a single channel-shaped river, do not have the branching, then the flow is expected to form a lasting torrential flow or stream flow can have the full power that came on the line and headed for the ocean. form when the river split into partial de-branching with substantial distance on a branch with one another, then divided again so small branching part, to be able to give the impression as if - if the channel is formed by the water shaped incision erosion and surface erosion at the site. The subject walked with such continuous carve the earth's surface.
