The surface features of the Earth are commonly split into two
categories, the first of which comprises those features that are
due to processes occurring inside the solid Earth (endogenic
features) and the second those that are due to processes occurring
outside the solid Earth (exogenic features). Specifically, the
endogenic features are treated in the science of geodynamics, the
exogenic features in the science of geomorphology. I have treated
the theoretical aspects of the endogenic features in my Principles
of Geodynamics, and it is my aim to supplement my earlier book with
a discussion of the theory of the exogenic features, the taxonomy
of the latter having been discussed in my Systematic Geomorphology.
It is my hope that the three books will together pre sent a
reasonably coherent, if necessarily incomplete, account of
theoretical geology. Contrary to endogenic phenomena, exogenic
processes can often be directly observed as they occur: the action
of a river, the develop ment of a slope, and the evolution of a
shore platform are all suffi ciently rapid so that they can be seen
as they take place. This has the result that in geomorphology one
is generally on much less specula tive ground regarding the
mechanics of the processes at work than one is in geodynamics.
