    Geomorphology is the scientific study of landforms. There are two main forces that shape landforms: endogenic forces which come from inside the Earth like plate tectonics, and exogenic forces which come from outside the Earth like weathering. Examples of landforms created by these forces include mountains like the Himalayas which were formed by plate collisions, and coastal landforms like estuaries and deltas which are formed by processes like erosion and deposition along coastlines. The Western Ghats in India have unique landforms due to submergence of the Arabian plate and contain varying terrain from basalt in the north to granite and gneiss in the middle.

    GEOMORPHOLOGY

    SCIENTIFIC
    STUDY OF LAND
    FORMS is called
    geomorphology

    Endogeni Exogenic
    • Endogenic forces are internal to earth
    • They can be diastropic or catastrophic
    • Diastrophic can be epirogenic and orogenic
    • Epirogenic forces act perpendicular causing
    upliftment or subsidence
    • Orogenic act horizontal causing folding or
    faulting
    • Example himalayas and western ghats
    upliftment

    compressional foreces
    submergence

    tensional forces
    West vs east coast
    West coast East coast
    They are submergent(except malabar) They are emergent
    Estuaries Deltas
    Wider at gujarat else narrow Wider plain
    Wide continental shelf Narrow than west
    Plantation crops rice
    Western Ghats
    • Appear as mountains due to submergence of Arabian block
    • Height point Anaimudi of Annamalai hills
    • Hot spot
    • Its height decreases and again increases north to south
    • Landslides
    • Kasturi rangan and madhav gadgil committee
    • North part has basalt
    • Middle part has granite gniss
    • West and eastern ghats meets at nilgiri hills at point dodabeta and
    south of it only western ghats
    • These are continous and through passes like palghat shencotta regions
    of madhurai and coimbatore rec
