Geomorphology

The landscape is support all human activities, basic component of natural shell geographically. This study, in all the subject of this paper.

We wanted this work to have a synthetic character and be a useful work and training for students from Year 2 day course and ID of the Faculty of Geography, comprise the most important concepts and contents of the general geomorphology.

The paper is structured in three parts, namely: relief - a subject of geomorphology (which will be presented elements that define geomorphology as a science and its development history, methods, laws and principles thereof, is studying how the topography of a region and stages of this study). The role of internal agents in the genesis of relief (it will focus on rock and structure as passive agents that affect both existing landforms, but also determine the specific landforms). The role of external agents in the genesis of relief (will explain the mechanisms by which external agents lead to a variety of types and forms of relief).

This variety of relief is actually support human society and all its activities, the relief being, depending on the situation, so a limiting factor and a risk factor for human activity.

This paper will focus on understanding the ratio between the geomorphological agents (regardless of their type and morphogenetic environment), they determine the processes and landform results.
