This dimension names the natural process that formed a landform, such as tectonic uplift, erosion or glaciation. Wikipedia notes that plate tectonics "builds on the concept of continental drift, an idea developed during the first decades of the 20th century," one of the major processes that raises mountains and shapes continents in the first place. Browsing by formation process groups landforms carved by the same underlying natural mechanism.

Grassland vegetation is often a plagioclimax; it remains dominant in a particular area usually due to grazing, cutting, or natural or man-made fires, all discouraging colonization by and survival of tree and shrub seedlings.
