INTRODUCTION: Landforms are the surface features of land, (Bloom, A) and morphology is the

outward configuration of the landforms. Landforms are evolute through different processes acting upon
them. Thus, there is a distinct relationship between the morphology of landforms and the processes
shaping them. Fluvial process is most active in study area in shaping the landforms. Thus an
understanding of morphology of landforms as well as both the drainage characteristics and fluvial
processes is basic to the understanding of landscape development in the area.

Morphometry can give a vivid expression of the evolution of landforms by bring out this relationship
using quantitative techniques. Morphometry is the measurement and mathematical analysis of the
configuration of the earth’s surface, shape and dimension of its landforms (Agarwal, 1998, Obi et al,
2002). Various morphometric parameters have been devised by different scholars. The morphometric
studies involve evolution of landforms through the measurement of various landforms and stream
parameters such as, relative relief, dissection index, average slope, drainage density etc. Thus
morphometry held a lot to determine the landscape evolution of an area.
