The Geomorphology module introduces students to the study of landforms, their origin, evolution, and the processes that shape them. It emphasizes both natural factors—such as weathering, erosion, sedimentation, and tectonic activity—and human influences on landscape transformation. Students learn to classify rocks and soils, analyze geomorphological cycles, and interpret topographic and geological data. Special attention is given to rock deformation, including folds and faults, as well as Quaternary geomorphology, which highlights recent landscape developments.
By the end of the module, students will be able to identify geomorphological processes, evaluate their impact on soils and water systems, and apply this knowledge to agricultural and environmental sciences.
