Geomorphology - is the science of landforms‚ their origin‚ evolution‚ form‚ and spatial distribution. Denudation - is any process that wears away or rearranges landforms. Processes include weathering‚ mass movement‚ erosion‚ transportation‚ and deposition. Differential Weathering - the effect of different resistance in rock‚ coupled with variations in the intensity of physical and chemical weathering. Dynamic Equilibrium Model - the balancing act between tectonic uplift and reduction rates
