Difference between Geomorphology and Periglaciation

Geomorphology vs. Periglaciation

Geomorphology (from Ancient Greek: γῆ, gê, "earth"; μορφή, morphḗ, "form"; and λόγος, lógos, "study") is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features created by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near the Earth's surface. Periglaciation (adjective: "periglacial," also referring to places at the edges of glacial areas) describes geomorphic processes that result from seasonal thawing of snow in areas of permafrost, the runoff from which refreezes in ice wedges and other structures.

Similarities between Geomorphology and Periglaciation

Geomorphology and Periglaciation have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Climatic geomorphology, Erosion, Glacier, Progress in Physical Geography.

Climatic geomorphology

Climatic geomorphology is the study of the role of climate in shaping landforms and the earth-surface processes.

Erosion

In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement).

Glacier

A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries.
