The study of landforms is Geomorphology. See Encarta 2004....
The scope of applied geomorphology is basically related to the application of geomorphological knowledge and understanding for economic development and well being of the human beings. It is done precisely to understand the complex nature of interaction between human activities and geomorphological processes and agents.The areas of application areGeohydrologyHazard management and mitigationNatural resource exploitation and managementRegional planningEngineering works and construction activitiesMilitary geologyUrban geomorphology
Biogeography is a multidisciplinary field that incorporates aspects of climatology, geomorphology, ecology, and evolutionary biology. While climatology focuses on the study of climate patterns and their impact on ecosystems, geomorphology examines how landforms shape habitats and influence species distribution. Both fields are crucial in understanding how the environment influences the distribution of species across different regions.
The study of Earth's surface is known as geomorphology. Geomorphologists investigate the landforms, processes, and evolution of the Earth's surface resulting from factors like tectonics, climate, and human activities. They analyze how landscapes are shaped and changed over time.
Geomorphology is the science that specifically studies the origin, evolution, form, and spatial distribution of landforms on Earth's surface. It focuses on processes such as weathering, erosion, sediment transport, and tectonic activity that shape the Earth's landscapes over time.

The word geomorphology is the word used to describe the profession of studying the Earth's surface. They study the physical features and how they relate to the geological structures.
