Explanation:

KING’S MODEL OF LANSCAPE EVOLUTION AND SLOPE DEVELOPMENT

2. Geomorphogenesis ("land" + "form" + "origin") is controlled in many way by many different factors. Some of the processes operate at the Earth's surface, others work in the subsurface.  Most surficial processes (except sediment deposition) degrade the landscape (i.e. wear it down) whereas most internal processes contribute in some way to building up (aggrades) the surface.  So in a sense, external forces battle internal forces for control of the appearance of the Earth!!! The end result is a landform.

3. INTRODUCTION  The larger task of endogenetic forces is to create irregularities on the surface of the Earth by volcanism, mountain building, etc. As soon as these end forms are exposed on the, the various processes of weathering start working on them. Soon these are weathered, and in due course of time, the weathered products are transported by Various agents. The whole period, during which erosion processes erode the new surface to sea level is one cycle and since erosion plays an important part in it, it is called the cycle of erosion.  The significance of the cycle concept is that it explains the sequential development of Landforms in a temporal framework.  There are three views on the cycle of erosion. These are of Davis, Penck and King.  These views relate to the sequential development of landforms in an orderly fashion during which the slope also evolves in a variety of ways. Thus, these cycles, while describing the development of landforms, also give information about the evolution of slopes.
