In this article we will discuss about the Penck’s model of the cycle of erosion.

It may be pointed out that German scientist Walther Penck pleaded for the rejection of Davisian model of geographical cycle based on time-dependent series of landform development and presented his own model of ‘morphological system’ or ‘morphological analysis’ for the explanation of landscape develop­ment.

The main goal of Penck’s model of morphologi­cal system was to find out the mode of development and causes of crustal movement on the basis of exogenetic processes and morphological characteristics. The ref­erence system of Penck’s model is that the character­istics of landforms of a given region are related to the tectonic activity of that region
