Tropical geomorphology is the study of landforms and landscape processes in tropical regions, characterized by distinct climatic conditions, vegetation, and hydrology. It examines how factors such as rainfall, temperature, and vegetation types influence the formation and evolution of landforms like mountains, valleys, and river systems. This field also addresses the impacts of human activities and natural events on the geomorphological processes in these diverse ecosystems. Understanding tropical geomorphology is essential for effective environmental management and conservation in these sensitive regions.
