Abstract

Models are means for analysis of facts as well as simplification of world's complexities. Their major objective of this paper is to enhance our recognition regarding real-world phenomena and trends.This paper tries to propose some models' definitions and explain concepts of modeling as well as their foundamental properties and categories. This is followed by description of deductive, simulative, cognitive, graphical, mathematical, and statistical modeling.Modeling process consists of problem-statement, data gathering, proposing criteria, and the evaluation of different alternatives. It may be argued that the application of modeling well justified in geomorphology, the science which requires temporal, functional, and evaluative modeling regarding investigation of physical landforms.Cycle of erosion is the first geomorphologic model which was proposed by Morris Davis between 1884-1899.He is the pioneer in linking geomorphology with modeling. The application of modeling in geomorphology is well justified by the very nature of landforms and their transitional nature. This is followed by Waiter Penk's and King's contributions in the area of modeling regarding physical landforms in 1920. Deductive, graphic, and systematic modeling possess great magnitude from application point of view in geomorphology.That is why the great bulk of this paper is devoted to these systematic type of modeling. More recently, symbolic and statistical models in geomorphology received considerable attention. Nowadays computerized modeling in geomorphological researches got great application. This is due to the simulativeability of computer with regard to physical landforms.
