Physical Geography Made Simple focuses on developments in physical
geography, including advancements in the study of landforms, weather,
climate, water, soils, plants, and animals. The book first offers
information on rocks and relief, weathering, slopes, and rivers and
drainage basins. Topics include rock structures and landforms, crustal
structure and movement, physical and chemical weathering, measurement
and description of slopes, and transport, erosion, and deposition. The
manuscript then ponders on glacial and periglacial landforms and
desert and uropical landforms. The publication takes a look at coastal
features, landscape development, and the atmosphere and its energy.
The manuscript also elaborates on moisture in the atmosphere, air
motion, general circulation, and weather. Discussions focus on fronts,
weather prediction, planetary wind belts, pressure variations, upper
air motion, adiabatic processes, and evaporation and condensation. The
text is a valuable reference for geographers and readers interested in
physical geography.
