The two important aspects of the evolution of landforms are:

First, the stages of transformation of a part of the earth's surface from one landform into another. This means that landforms are not static but undergo continuous change over time.

Second, the transformation of individual landforms after they are once formed. Each landform has a history of development and passes through stages comparable to life — youth, mature, and old age. Changes occur due to climatic conditions and vertical or horizontal movements of landmasses, which modify the intensity of processes or the processes themselves.
