Cheng Shaoping,Yang Guizhi. REVIEW ON THE RESEARCH ADVANCES IN MEGA-GEOMORPHOLOGY[J]. Advances in Earth Science, 1994, 9(1): 1-7.
Plate tectonic revolution and new space image technique had promoted the renewal of mega-geomorphology in the 1980's. Mega-geomorphology studies the typical landforms produced by the plate tectonic processes and the subsequent erosion and sedimentation.Currently,it has a noticeable research advance in passive continental margins, plate boundaries and active continental marins,and continental hypsometry.
