Geomorphology is defined as the science of landforms with an emphasis on their origin, evolution, form, and distribution across the physical landscape. An understanding of geomorphology and its processes is therefore essential to the understanding of physical geography.
binary mode. (1) A mode of operation that deals with non-textual data. When a binary parameter is added to a command, it enables every type of data to be transferred or compared rather than just ASCII text. See ASCII. (2) A compiler mode that deals with file I/O. It allows programmers to manipulate data files at the byte level rather than at the field level.
Standby mode or suspend mode, now commonly termed as the sleep mode, is a power saving state in computers and other electronic devices. In computers, sleep mode is the pausing of the state of the machine and using a minimal power input to maintain the standby in the memory. This state is usually expressed using a pulsating LED. With the press of the power button, the operations can be resumed if the computer is in the sleep mode. For example if a user has three programs running and connected to the internet, upon putting the computer on standby, all the three programs and the internet connection are suspended in that state.
