landforms and their classification in Geomorphology science
Scholars and experts in different fields need a common terminology and a common interpretation of terms and concepts which give paradigmatic value to the science. Despite repeated references to “landforms” in different definitions of geomorphology, as the science of studying and interpreting landforms, and the importance of this concept in metaphysical and epistemological view of geomorphology, the term has been quite neglected by geomorphologists. Therefore, as most classifications and geomorphologic researches are based on the concept of “land form”. The present article seeks to investigate the nature and concept of landforms and provide a classification of landforms in the area. Qualitative and quantitative research methods, aerial and satellite imageries were applied, large scale field study was performed and library documents were explored. The research ultimately provides a table of available landforms in the area and produce a geomorphologic map of landforms in Jaj Rud basin according to land forming processes.
