Abstract

The present article deals with the main aspects of geographic thought and its epistemological evolution and its objective is to discuss and approach Geography in general, its establishment as science, going through periods of transformation and the development of the main geographical trends. Thus, through a review of specific bibliographies, we present a synthesis of the concepts of the systemic approach in the context of Physical Geography, discussing specific themes of Geomorphology and its approaches in geosystems and soil erosion processes and their interconnections with the systems. It is concluded that after the consolidation of Geography as a science and the contributions Of important scholars has become not only a field of descriptive study but, above all, of a critical nature. It was noted that in addition to the descriptive elements it is of fundamental relevance for the Geographer to maintain an intimate relationship between the type of research, the techniques and any theoretical-methodological framework required in the search for a better understanding of the various problems.
