Morphoclimatic systems

A  (MS) is a set of external geological actions that shape landforms in a particular zone. It depends on factors such as climate, lithology... but also on the specific actions of the human being.

• Climate: external agents that characterize an specific area and its geomorphogenetic actions.
• Lithology: part of the geology that studies the rocks (colour, texture, grain size, or composition). Rocks influence the landscape of a particular area. Cohesion, permeability and changeability are rock features that need to be taken into account.

 Type of morphoclimatic systems are glaciers, periglacial areas, deserts and humid zones.
