The geographical cycle, also known as the geomorphological cycle, describes the process of landscape evolution over time. It involves the continuous transformation of landforms due to various natural forces, including erosion, weathering, and sedimentation. This cycle typically progresses through stages such as youth, maturity, and old age, reflecting the changing characteristics of landforms. In the youth stage, landscapes are often rugged and steep, while in the maturity stage, they become more rounded and stable. Finally, in the old age stage, landforms may become flat and featureless. This cycle illustrates the dynamic nature of Earth's surface and the ongoing processes that shape it.
