Course content
The subject of the study of dynamic geomorphology is the elementary geomorphological process as a functional unit of the general process of formation and transformation of the relief of the earth's surface. The essence of dynamic geomorphology defines a set of questions, which include the study of the properties of relief formation processes and the forms of the corresponding relief, the mechanisms of these processes, and their energy characteristics; assessment of the state and course of processes and their threshold values; analysis of placement patterns and paragenetic relationships between individual landforms, processes and the environment in which they occur. Knowledge of dynamic geomorphology is of important theoretical and practical importance, as it allows to identify the manifestations of various morphodynamic processes in the environment, to distinguish between different genetic groups and forms of the earth's surface, which is the basis for conducting field geomorphological studies and collecting actual material during production practice and preparation of qualification papers.
