10 Things to Know About Plate Tectonics
... 2. Movement occurs because of convection currents in the asthenosphere, which move the lithosphere on top. Mantle heats up as it approaches the core, so it rises to the top, where it cools and cycles back down toward the core, and so on and so forth. 3. Divergent plate boundaries – two plates moving ...

Geomorphology
Geomorphology (from Greek: γῆ, ge, ""earth""; μορφή, morfé, ""form""; and λόγος, logos, ""study"") is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features created by physical or chemical processes operating at or near the earth's surface. Geomorphologists seek to understand why landscapes look the way they do, to understand landform history and dynamics and to predict changes through a combination of field observations, physical experiments and numerical modeling. Geomorphology is practiced within physical geography, geology, geodesy, engineering geology, archaeology and geotechnical engineering. This broad base of interests contributes to many research styles and interests within the field.
