Landscape evolution model
A
landscape evolution model
is a physically based
numerical model
that simulates changing terrain over the course of time. This can be due to
glacial
erosion and deposition;
erosion
,
sediment transport
, and
deposition
in
fluvial
systems such as
rivers
;
regolith production
; the movement of material on
hillslopes
; more intermittent events such as
rockfalls
,
debris flows
,
landslides
, and other surface processes. This can also be due to surface
uplift
and/or
subsidence
. A typical landscape evolution model takes many of these factors into account.
