Abstract:
The lack of a commonly accepted classification of the “landforms” in the geomorphology motivates the author to attempt some time ago (Parlichev, 1989, 1992, 2017a) a revision the classification of I. P. Gerasimov (1946). The author‘s classification was used in the preparation of his concept of morphospheric geomorphology to reflect the geomorphological processes concomitant with the geotectonic ones described by the Plate tectonics. Almost complete coherence of the tectonic and morpholytodynamic processes and an adequate reflection of the latter in the new classification is established. The latter, although composed of only four basic concepts, facilitates the work of the researcher and inspires confidence that, when completed, it will fully meet the requirements of the concept of the morphospheric geomorphology.
