Résumé :
|
This book deals primarily with landform development under processes associated with running water. In part I, the relation of geomorphology to field problems is analyzed in studies of a mountain block in a semiarid climate, a meandering river cut into bedrock, and benches along a sea coast. Part II contains studies of weathering, climate and such denudational processes as flooding and erosion. Here, too, are examinations of the drainage basin as a geomorphic unit, water and sediment in channels, channel form and process, and hillslope characteristics and processes. In part III, the authors cover geochronology, drainage pattern evolution, channel changes with time, and the evolution of hillslopes.
