This category could be organized following some academic subfields, as purposed in the various articles on wikipedias. Here a purpose of categorization.

  • Geomorphography, Geomorphometry, Geomorphogenesis, Geomorphodinamic, Geomorphochronology [1]; Climatic geomorphology[2]

Because a lot of files in this category are landform a special attention is kept on those categories:

  • by scale[3]: see also geomorphometry (maybe a little difficult to estimate by a single media!)
  • by process[4]: Tectonic, Igneous [5]; others [6]: Eolian, Biological, Fluvial, Glacial +/- Perigalcial, Gravitational[7] (mass processes (regolite, Hillslope), impact craters or cosmogenesis[8])), Coastal[9], Chemical (karst forms, soffusion [10])[11]; Human [12]
  • by form: weathering[13], erosional, (transport), depositional

Most of subcategories are divided in "landforms" and "erosion", proably supposing that all landforms should be a depsitional/accumulation ones. Indeed landform, comprehends "erosional landforms" (i.e. fjords, caves, etc.) as "depositional landform" (i.e. reefs, conoids etc.). --Ciaurlec (talk) 13:54, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
