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.
Mode: The mode of a data set is the value that occurs most frequently. When two values occur with the same greatest frequency, each one is a mode and the data set is bimodal. When more than two values occur with same greatest frequency, each is a mode and data set is said to be multimodal.
