Perhaps first of all are noted those features of the landscape which disclose the stage in the geographic cycle through which the district is passing. There may be, further, distinguishing lines which reveal in one case the work of waves, in another of mountain glaciers or of a continental ice-sheet; again, it is a partial submergence of the land which is disclosed, or a moulding of the surface under arid conditions rather than the more familiar, if not more prevalent, denudational processes of a humid climate.
