Episode 3: Geomorphology - the Egg and I
10/02/20 • 84 min
This episode talks about geomorphology, the study of the Earth’s landforms. This includes the physical makeup of the earth’s crust, the movement of the pieces that make up the Earth (plate tectonics), and the origin and evolution of topographic (and bathymetric) features created by physical and chemical processes, and operating at or near the earth’s surface.
Our main source for this episode is Process geomorphology (5th ed.), by Ritter, Kochel, & Miller.
