This module explores the fundamentals of geomorphology, highlighting the relationships between landform features and internal processes (tectonics, isostasy) as well as external processes (erosion, climate). It addresses the Earth's structure, the influence of lithology, tectonic deformations, and the formation of landforms. Erosion processes (areal, linear, aeolian, periglacial) and specific models (karstic, desert) are analyzed, with a focus on anthropogenic impacts. Finally, it examines morphological systems in various climatic contexts (humid, arid, desert) and emphasizes the ecological importance of these geomorphological dynamics.
