Apart from often being remarkably scenic, landscapes reveal stories that often can be traced back in time tens of million years and include unique events. This is particularly true for Ethiopia where spectacular examples of different landforms are present. Its geomorphology varies from highlands, marked by high volcanoes and incised by deep river gorges, to the rift valley lakes endorheic systems and the below sea level lowlands with characteristic landscapes which are unique in the world. Landscapes and Landforms of Ethiopia highlights all these topics including essential information about geology and tectonic framework, past and present climate, hydrology, geographical regions and long-term geomorphological history. It is a highly informative book, providing insight for readers with an interest in geography and geomorphology. 410 0$aWorld Geomorphological Landscapes,$x2213-2090 606 $aGeomorphology 606 $aGeographic information systems 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aGeomorphology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16010 606 $aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13000 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 615 0$aGeomorphology. 615 0$aGeographic information systems. 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 14$aGeomorphology. 615 24$aGeographical Information Systems/Cartography. 615 24$aSoil Science & Conservation. 676 $a916.690453 702 $aBilli$b Paolo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299451003321 996 $aLandscapes and Landforms of Ethiopia$92530884 997 $aUNINA
