Man lives on the land, his activities find expression on earth's surface. Physical factor like landform, climate, vegetation, soil and water conditions have either facilitated or get limits to his activities. These factors has influenced him also in the choice of his dwelling place, including the location of village and towns. Hence man has made consistent effort to understand 'land' the most important component of his habitat since times immemorial. This curiosity to understand land has ultimately given rise to modem science of geomorphology which seek to make an appraisal of the earth's various surficial forms and to elucidate the processes contributing to their formation.

Gemorphology, an important branch of geography deals with the evolution of landforms including the sequential developments that might have taken place in shaping them since their initial appearance above the base level of erosion. The landform provides information useful to human as well as physical geographers. Now such studies are not only of academic interest but have occupied important place in applied fields, viz, civil engineering, geological and geophysical explorations, ground-water hydrology and also in regional planning and defence arrangements.

Geomorphology may be defined as the scientific study of surface, feature of the earth surface involving interpretative description of landforms, their origin, development, nature and mechanism of geomorphological process was evolve the landforms with a view that 'all landforms can be related to a particular geologic process or set of processes, and that the landforms thus, developed may evolve with time through a sequence of forms dependent in part, on the relative, a particular process has operating' (Easterrook, 1969. Bloom, A.L. (1979) also defined geomorphology as the systematic description and analysis of landscapes and the processes that change them.
