Process Nature

This dimension describes the basic nature of a physical process, whether it builds up land, wears it away or moves it from place to place. Geomorphologists, Wikipedia notes, "seek to understand why landscapes look the way they do, to understand landform and terrain history and dynamics and to predict changes through a combination of field observations, physical experiments and numerical modeling." Browsing by process nature groups constructive processes apart from destructive ones.
