About the Book

भूमि-आकृति विज्ञान (Geomorphology) is a comprehensive guide to the study of Earth's surface features, their origin, development, and dynamic changes over time. This book is aligned with the University Grants Commission guidelines and presents a detailed curriculum on the subject. It discusses various geomorphic processes that shape the Earth's surface, with a focus on the interplay of geographical factors that govern these changes.

The book explains concepts such as plate tectonics, continental drift, volcanism, earthquakes, and the erosion cycle. It also covers practical geomorphology with an emphasis on its application to human welfare. The geographical interpretation of landforms, their classification, and the processes responsible for their formation are thoroughly discussed.

This book is intended to serve as a resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as those preparing for competitive exams like the UPSC, UGC NET, and other related exams.
