system
system 1. The chronostratigraphic equivalent of the time unit
period. Systems are subdivided into
series, and together several systems constitute an ‘
erathem’. When used formally the initial letter of the term is capitalized, e.g. the
Devonian System.
2. In
geomorphology, a natural arrangement of interrelated objects or variables, the whole possessing properties that make it greater than the sum of the individual parts. It normally possesses stability, expressed by a balance between the input and output of energy and matter. This equilibrium may be upset by internal or external change. If the change is modest, the system quickly regains equilibrium; if it is extreme, a new equilibrium is established. A hillslope, for example, receives
precipitation and exports water, slope debris, and the products of
weathering. The form of the profile represents a balance between input and output. A landslide, perhaps induced by an increase in precipitation, would destroy this equilibrium, and in due course a new balance would be established. Several varieties of system are recognized. See
CASCADING SYSTEM;
CONTROL SYSTEM;
MORPHOLOGICAL SYSTEM; and
PROCESS-RESPONSE SYSTEM.
