The Landform Developments in Relation with the Geologic Structures

  • Published : 2005.12.10

Abstract

Geologic Structures are reflected on the landform development. So lots of studies are emphasized on the individual processes and mechanism of the relationship between geologic structures and landforms. In this study, many cases are represented, such as : weathering, stream directions and structures expecially joints, gnamas, meander bending etc. New D-D Diagrams and photos are available to explain the relations of two factors. Landform developments are depend on geologic structures.
