Landforms of the World with Google Earth
Understanding our Environment
This book of phenomenal illustrations provides a wealth of visual information on the wide
variety of landform processes over all latitudes, climates and geological time-scales. It invites
you to observe the surface of planet Earth, to appreciate its astonishing beauty and to explore
scientific explanations for the form of our landscapes.
250 full-colour images from Google Earth enable all types of terrestrial environments and
landforms to be appreciated at a glance. Images are explained with scales, coordinates, ex-
planatory text and references, making the landform processes active on our globe easy for
the reader to comprehend.
See the effects of both sudden and slow forming agents such as the impact of a comet or
meteorite, and erosion and deposition processes through wind, flowing water, creeping gla-
cier ice, or frost in the ground. Appreciate how landscapes are shaped by processes such as
weathering, transport and erosion and how that erosion enables us to look into endogenic
processes (those within the Earths crust), called tectonics. These images and the processes
that they document show that continents are shifting, mountains are uplifting, and ocean
bottoms may sink deeper.
This collection will appeal to everyone: researchers, students and non-experts alike can take
inspiration from these images, which bring the landforms of the world to life. The scientific
discipline of geomorphology becomes accessible through the fascinating insights that these
clear, well explained images allow.
