Rapid, long-term rates of denudation
High rates of erosion (1-15 mm/yr) of fluvial strata have persisted over intervals of 0.2-1.5 m.y. and across areas of 60-2000 km 2 in the Cenozoic foreland basin of northern Pakistan. These rates occur in areas associated with thrust shortening, and they indicate that erosion nearly kept pace with the rates of latest Miocene to Pleistocene uplift. Such high rates of erosion are predicted to pr...
متن کاملGeomorphic Controls on Andean Denudation Rates
To predict erosion rates throughout the Andes, we conducted a multiple regression analysis of the sediment discharge from 47 drainage basins in the Bolivian Andes and various topographic, climatologic, and geologic parameters. These mountainous basins are typically large (17–81,000 km; km), often have decades of measurement mean p 11,000 data on daily water and sediment discharge, and display a...
متن کاملLong-term rates of denudation in the Dry Valleys, Transantarctic Mountains, southern Victoria Land, Antarctica based on in-situ-produced cosmogenic Ne
21 Ž . Concentrations of cosmogenic Ne Ne measured in quartz have been used to estimate long-term rates of denudation c for contrasting landscape components in the Dry Valleys area of the Transantarctic Mountains, southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Samples of Beacon Supergroup sandstones and granitic basement were collected from two contrasting landscape elements—low-relief, high-elevation sur...
متن کاملEcologically-based Management Factors and criteria of River-Valleys in Tehran metropolis-Case Study: River-Valleys of Kan
Iran has seasonal rivers because of dry climate, low rainfall and different topography. These river- valleys have main role in forming, genesis, and sustainability of human settlements and provide different ecological services. The main services include beauty, store of green spaces, water supply, reduce and create temperature differences, local air flow and natural ventilation which are part o...
متن کاملThe contribution of mountains to global denudation
The hypothesis that mountains infl uence global climate through links among rock uplift, physical and chemical denudation, and the carbon cycle remains vigorously debated. We address the contribution of mountains to global denudation with an empirical model that predicts that >50% of the total denudation and 40% of the chemical denudation occur on the steepest ~10% of Earth’s terrestrial surfac...
