Geomorphology: Nature, nurture and landscape
Peter Molnar1
Abstract
Those studying erosion in mountain regions wrestle with factors such as what builds mountains, and how climate affects erosive forces. Yet perhaps a physically based theory is what is most needed.
The endless debate over the relative importance of nature and nurture in child development has its equivalent in geomorphology. In this case, the argument is about the roles of tectonics and climate in mountain erosion.
