ABSTRACT

Water bodies, unique geomorphologic networks, basins, subbasins, and zones of influence (ZIs) are some of the features of geomorphologic interest. These features that are conspicuous have their spatial organizations that require special emphasis while understanding the complexity involved in terrestrial surfaces and processes. In the previous chapter, morphometric and allometric analyses that led to the derivation of a host of power-laws have been employed. This chapter deals with similar geomorphologic phenomena, whereby granulometric analysis, which has been proved to be a successful approach to quantitatively understand the spatiotemporal organization of varied geomorphologic phenomena.
