The size of a drainage basin acts upon the amount of water yield, the length, shape and relief, affect the rate at which water is discharged from the basin.

Drainage basins/catchments are the fundamental units of the fluvial landscape and the recent research has been carried out extensively on their geometric characteristics, topology of the stream networks, quantitative measurements of drainage texture, pattern, shape and relief aspects.

These comparisons suggest a strong effect of network structure, which varies significantly among the sites, on profile shape and relief because of the different susceptibilities to debris-flow deposition and, therefore, debris-dam formation.

However, basin hypsometry has also been found to be related to the size, the shape and relief of the sampled area as well as factors such as the type of dominant erosional process.

The predicted relief shapes and relief angles are in good agreement with experimental observations.

This work in megageomorphology complements plate tectonics for in large measure it explains the shape and major relief of cratonic regions.

At first the geomorphological similarity is studied by identifying the dimensionless groups, which can assume the same value or a scaled one in a fixed ratio, representing drainage basin shape, stream network and relief properties.

Basin length is the longest length of the basin, from the catchment to the point of confluence (Gregory and Walling 1973) and this measure is essential to estimate the shape, and also the relative relief of the watersheds.

Alexandrian wheel engravers produced not only massive cut shapes, but also intaglio (incised) and relief surface decoration, the latter by laboriously grinding back the surface of the glass to form a background for the design.
