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.

Like the statistical mean and median, the mode is a way of expressing, in a (usually) single number, important information about a random variable or a population. The numerical value of the mode is the same as that of the mean and median in a normal distribution, and it may be very different in highly skewed ...
