Geomorphology is basically the study of landscape, entails the systematic description of landforms and the analysis of the processes that form them, as well as understanding the function landforms and their response to changes in energy.
Difference between landscape and landform
Landscape is a mountainous terrain; the combined effect of numerous landforms. A landform is an individual feature (slope, valley or mountain).
Extragenic processes that form landscape
Extragenic processes that produce landforms after outer space impacts, such as meteors. It could produce massive extinctions, craters and large impact structures.
Endogenic processes that form landscape
Endogenic processes are produced by internal forces of the Earth like volcanism and diastrophism.
Exogenic processes that form landscape
Exogenic processes are produced by external forces of the planet, such as weathering and erosion.
