This site is a service provided by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands, and Parks. It is the geomorphological processes chapter of the Canadian terrain classification manual. The Terrain Classification System is a scheme designed for the classification of surficial materials, landforms and geomorphological processes. It has been specifically developed to provide an inventory of the terrain features in the landscape and to show their distribution, extent and location. The system is scale independent and provides base data applicable for a wide range of natural resource applications including planning, management, impact assessment and research. The data is conveyed in map form by the use of terrain symbols and is conducive to computer digital storage, management and processing. Site topics: geomorphological process terms and symbols, application of geomorphological processes, and definitions for topics such as erosional processes, fluvial processes, mass movement processes, periglacial processes, deglacial processes, and hydrologic processes.
