Introduction
Land cover changes induced by human activities have been a growing concern in recent years due to their significant impacts on the geomorphological processes of the Earth’s surface. The modification of land cover through activities such as deforestation, urbanization, agriculture, and mining can alter the natural processes of erosion, sedimentation, and deposition, leading to changes in the landscape’s form and structure. These changes can have far-reaching effects on the environment, including loss of biodiversity, increased risk of natural disasters, and degradation of ecosystem services.
This research project aims to explore the effects of human-induced land cover changes on geomorphology, specifically focusing on how these changes impact the physical processes that shape the Earth’s surface. By examining case studies and conducting field research, this study seeks to understand the extent of these impacts and develop strategies for sustainable land management practices.
