Abstract

According to Scheidegger's "Instability Principle", the development of landforms, controlled by exogenic processes which are essentially random, is unstable.But the instabilities cannot grow indefinetely, there is a certain size limitation present.To discover the behaviour of the exogenic processes, a fractional Brownian model of exogenic morphological evolution is proposed.There are two kinds of landform evalution.
