520 _aAdrian Harvey introduces the varying geomorphological forces and differing timescales which combine to shape the surface of the earth. These extend from global forces, which shape continents and mountain ranges; through regional forces, producing hills and river basins; to local forces forming beaches, glaciers and slopes; and to those micro scale forces which weather rock faces and produce sediment. Finally, he considers the effect that mankind has had on the world's topography
