Critical review of the journal geomorphic threshoilds
This is a critical review of this journal article that has to be done within 400 words (which does not include the referencing and figures titles.) if it could be possible for a plagiarism score of less than 10%, that would be great. Communication to be through email.
They want to see how the article has been referenced in other academic works through Scopus, is it still relevant? etc
The use of figures from the journal would be more appreciated by my teacher and gain more marks.
The article is the geomorphic thresholds by Schumm.
