World Geomorphology deals with the large scale relief features of
the earth and shows how these are related to the major segments of
the earth's crust known as lithospheric plates. The aim of the book
is to convey an understanding of the earth's major relief features
and to present a subdivision of the earth's surface in provinces
which have had similar geological or geomorphological history. The
book starts by presenting the reader with the basic geological
column and the means of subdividing the landscape into areas with a
common origin and developmental history, and gives an explanation
of the basic principles of plate tectonics. The continental and
oceanic areas of each lithospheric plate are then described:
successive chapters deal with the African Plate, American plate,
Antarctic plate, Asian plate, the European plate and the Pacific
plate, indicating the regional geomorphological features after a
brief geological introduction. This encyclopedic volume will
provide a valuable reference for students of geology and geography.
