Description :
The relationship between climate and landform is not everywhere obvious or apparent. Some recent landforms result from catastrophic events, some climatic but others tectonic. Even those forms which are climatically triggered are genetically complex and many are related to meteorological episodes rather than secular climatically induced processes. The climatic interpretation of landforms is as complex in the short term as it is in the long.
