The purpose of this article is to explain and better understanding, in all its complexity, the theory of dynamic equilibrium, which has been used in geography long time. Many derivations are found, many associations are made, however, the real intent for which it was created is not mentioned, much less explained clearly and objectively even by the author himself quotes the theory of dynamic equilibrium Hack (1960). What lies are usually subjectivities on the conditions of dynamic equilibrium related to changes of elements on the surface, but little about the object for which it was designed, ie relief. However, it isn’t intended here to exhaust the subject nor assess whether the terms are correct or not, but return to a theory so important to the development of science geomorphology.
