The geomorphic cycle, also known as the geographic cycle, is a theoretical framework used to explain the long-term evolution of landforms. It describes the continuous process of erosion, transportation, and deposition that shapes the Earth’s surface over time. William Morris Davis, an American geographer, and Albrecht Penck, an Austrian ...
