Abstract

Landform changes in a system are caused by natural forces (external and internal forces) and artificial forces. Long-term external forces which acted on lake-catchment systems are discussed using Lake Biwa and Lake Baikal. Historical short-term external forces are examined using Lake Yogo system and Lake Biwa system, and instrumental observation short-term external forces are checked using Kawauso-ike system, Kobe, Japan. Abrupt activities which acted on the systems are discussed using Darkhad lake-catchment system in Mongolia.
