The understanding of specific landscape features in terms of the underlying tectonic processes is called tectonic geomorphology, and the study of geologically young or ongoing processes is called neotectonics.to understand mountains we must first know more about their geomorphic history. In most mountain studies this is not done: instead the rock structures inside the mountains are described in detail, with the tacit assumption that whatever made the structures also made the mountains.
