LANDFORMING

Man is managing to modify the natural morphology of the earth, with the aggravating circumstance that in some cases these processes have a higher speed than the natural ones.

LANDFORMING

Landform is the term that defines the surface appearance of the earth's crust, and is what is studied by Geo-morphology.
Thanks to this science, all the natural forms modeled first by endogenous agents, those that determine the drift of continents and the formation of mountain ranges, are explained, and then by exogenous agents, responsible for erosion, the formation of valleys, coasts and plains.

Landforming, on the other hand, defines the action of man against the earth's surface, an action that has irreversible effects, comparable only in extent to natural exogenous agents.
Landforming concerns the consumption of land, the extraction of rocks and the modeling of the internal and coastal environment, with proportions that are also visible from the images taken by satellites.

Man is managing to modify the natural morphology of the earth, with the aggravating circumstance that in some cases these processes have a higher speed than the natural ones.

The delicate geo-morphological balance of our planet is made vulnerable by this disordered, speculative and unsustainable anthropic development.

This work brings examples of "0 km" Landformig found in the Sicily region, which can perfectly be framed, in their small scale, within the themes of the new era we are experiencing called the Anthropocene.
