Actually, there are three aspects of the study of geomorphology. Firstly, it is the study of the relations between landforms and the underlying rocks i. e. Geological Geomorphology. Thus, geomorphology is concerned with the interactions between denudation processes and the rock strength. Geomorphology is concerned with the nature and origins of Earths surface features. Literary, a study of Earth form. Geomorphology is generally understood to embrace the study oflandformsand landscapes. As long as man has walk the earth, tilled the ground and sailed the seas, he has formed ideas about the origin of the Earth and its landscapes. And as landforms are the most widespread geomorphic phenomena, speculation as to their origin has gone on since the days of the ancient philosophers. A discussion of the development of geomorphic thought may thus well begin with the contribution of such Greek and Roman philosophers as Herodotus (485-425 BC), Aristotle (384 - 322 BC), Strabo (54B - AD 25) and Seneca (BC - AD65).

Geomorphology is the study of different types of landform that are present on earth. It uses the information to analyze the effect of human activity on these landforms and atmosphere. It tries to understand the differences patterns in human distribution, interrelationships between the physical environment and human society and how these differences shapes people cultures

Geomorphology is interdisciplinary in nature and scope because it requires knowledge acquired from geology, physics, chemistry, petrology, mineralogy, fluid dynamics, hydraulics, hydrology, statistics, mathematical modelling and engineering. Knowledge from these disciplines is applied to a wide variety of locations and diverse environments to solve problems, explain environments and predict future events. It also cover and connects a lot of things. It is people, the lands they live in-and how they live there. It is travel, trade, resources, and both the past and future of the lands.
