520 _aThe Earth s surface is a product of dynamic forces: temperature, wind, water and tectonics, all under the constant driving force of gravity. These forces define and constantly modify the geomorphology (landforms and processes) that in turn exert considerable authority over engineering works, human health and safety and the environment. Geohazards are those events, geological and geomorphological in nature, that have potential to cause damage to things that human s value.
