Abstract Geo-morphology stems from three Greek words i,e. (ge) earth, (morphe) form and ‘logos’ a discourse. Geomorphology is defined as the science of description of various forms of the surface. The evolution of different suits of landforms in the region clearly express the several phases of sedimentation, faulting, intrusion of igneous material, climatic changes and several chapters of denudational cycles. Morphology means the scientific study of the form, structure, origin and development of organisms or of the external structure of rocks in relation to form. Thus, the morphological region is a distinctive unit of land form identified of the basis of form, rock structure, and evolutional history varying in scale or order.
Keywords: Morphological Region, Morpho-Unit, Strucural Origin.
