Course Objectives		The purpose of the course is to teach interaction between geomorphic and geologic processes, and landforms associated with this interaction and their evolution. Within this framework, the students will learn ? Mechanism weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition ? Effect of climate on geomorphological processes ? Effect of lithology on geomorphological processes ? Effect of tectonism on gemorphological processes ? Effect of volcanism on gemorphological processes ? Mapping of landforms ? Dating of landforms
Course Description		Weathering, erosion, transportation and depositional processes controlled by agents like rivers, waves, currents, glaciers and wind that shaped the earth; interactions between these external processes and agents with tectonism and volcanism; micro and macro landforms associated with this interaction and formation, development and evolution of landscapes; geomorphic mapping and dating.
Course Outcomes		(1) Give fundamental concepts of mechanism of weathering, erosion, transportation and depositional processes (2) Teach the effect of climate on these processes (3) Teach the effect of lithology on these processes (4) Teach the effect of tectonic processes on these processes (5) Teach the effect of volcanism processes on these processes (6) Teach geomorphological mapping and dating.
