SPECULATIONS ON THEORY OF GEOMORPHOLOGY

Abstract
The theory of geomorphology is much more stable than those of other earth sciences. There are two ways of the Earth surface presentation in geomorphology: (a) mathematical image as a two-dimensional plane with deformations in the third dimension; and (b) physical image as an intermediate layer between the lithosphere and mobile geospheres. The Earth relief includes a great deal of convergent forms. An elaboration of the origin of landforms would be of use for better understanding of the modern state and prospects for its future evolution.
