Geomorphological Environmental Factors

Geomorphological factors are factors that influence the formation of the terrain and its natural conditions. They include various natural processes such as erosion, landslides, avalanches, glaciers, floods, earthquakes, etc. These processes can lead to changes in relief, the formation of new forms and changes in natural conditions in the territory.

Geomorphological factors can be classified into several categories:

  1. Tectonic factors are changes in relief caused by the movement of the earth's crust, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and faults.

  2. Erosion factors are processes of destruction of rocks by water, wind or ice, such as ravines, gorges and canyons.

  3. Deflation is the process of soil being blown away by the wind, which can lead to the formation of deserts and semi-deserts.

  4. Accumulative factors are processes of accumulation of material, such as sediments from rivers, lakes and glaciers.

  5. Inflation is the process of raising the earth's surface, such as volcanoes and earthquakes.

  6. Deformation factors are changes in the shape and size of the relief due to tectonic processes such as plate shifts.

  7. Glacial factors are the influence of glaciers on the topography, such as the formation of moraines and cracks.

Each of these factors can have a significant impact on the environment and people's lives. For example, erosion processes can lead to the destruction of houses and roads, and invasions can lead to land degradation and reduced crop yields.

To prevent the negative consequences of geomorphological factors, it is necessary to take them into account when planning and constructing infrastructure facilities, developing territorial development projects and making decisions on nature conservation.



**Geomorphological factors in nature** are a huge and diverse complex of geological processes and phenomena. They affect the human body and its health. The geomorphological conditions of the territory are the main factor and often, together with climate and topography, form the habitat. Deviation from the climatic optimum in favor of a cold, excessively dry climate has a seasonally damaging effect, and in the direction of arid heat it is replaced by dehydration, heat stress and depression. In conditions of overheating, excessive cooling of the body and prolonged heat stress in subjects with dry water deficiency, combined with climatic adversity
