Convergence of tectonic reconstructions and mantle

... reconstructions and geodynamic models. Both kinematic reconstructions and geodynamic models converge to suggest that the rate of production of new seafloor can vary by a factor of 2 over a Wilson cycle, with concomitant changes of the shape of the area– age distribution of the seafloor. 2. The area–ag ...

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.
