 Geomorphology is that the study of landforms, their processes, form and sediments at the surface of the world (and sometimes on other planets). Study includes watching landscapes to figure out how the world surface processes, like air, water and ice, can mould the landscape. Landforms is produced by erosion or deposition, as rock and sediment is worn away by these earth-surface processes and transported and deposited to different localities. the various climatic environments produce different suites of landforms. The landforms of deserts, like sand dunes and ergs, are a world aside from the glacial and periglacial features found in polar and sub-polar regions. Geomorphologists map the distribution of those landforms so on understand better their occurrence.   Earth-surface processes are forming landforms today, changing the landscape, albeit often very slowly. Most geomorphic processes operate at a slow rate, but sometimes an outsized event, like a landslide or flood, occurs causing rapid change to the environment, and sometimes threatening humans. So geological hazards, like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides, fall within the interests of geomorphologists. Advancements in remote sensing from satellites and GIS mapping has benefited geomorphologists greatly over the past few decades, allowing them to know global distributions.
