Abstract

“Morphological Analysis” is one of the first theoretical scientific works in geomorphological field of knowledge. It is contained of problem statement and research method; meaning of correlative to relief sediments and unique “differential” method is offered – the idea of relief forming by way of endless small hops which sizes create endless relief forming process. Appearance and development of denudation forms are owned to relation of forces, relation of exogenous and endogenous processes. Modelling forces on the Earth – exogenous mass motions; exactly they in sum compose the denudation.
