Late Glacial Origin of the Maumee Valley Terraces, Northwestern Ohio
Four major paired terraces and six short local terraces have been identified along the Maumee River valley between the Ohio-Indiana state line and Perrysburg in northwestern Ohio by detailed field mapping and study of gaging-station records, water-well logs, and soils data. From highest to lowest, the paired terraces have been named the Antwerp, Florida, Napoleon, and Grand Rapids terraces. The...
متن کاملCharacter and History of the Upper Ohio River Valley
Dismemberment of the preglacial Teays Valley system and development of the present Ohio River valley began in late Tertiary or early Pleistocene. By Illinoian time the present Ohio River was largely established in its present course, except for its headwaters above mile 114, which still flowed northward. The Illinoian glacial advance into northwestern Pennsylvania caused diversion of this porti...
متن کاملLate Quaternary fluvial terraces of the Romagna and Marche Apennines, Italy: Climatic, lithologic, and tectonic controls on terrace genesis in an active orogen
We synthesize a new fluvial terrace chronostratigraphy of the Bidente and Musone Rivers cast within a broader European framework, which forms the basis of a terrace genesis and river incision model for the northern Apennines, Italy. Our model, supported by terrace long profiles, correlation to Po foreland sediments, 15 new radiocarbon dates, and published numeric and relative stratigraphic ages...
متن کاملMorphological analysis of glaciated valleys in the Zardkuh Mountains, Iran
The morphology of glacial valley can be described in terms of power law or quadratic equations fitted to valley cross-profiles. These two models are used to study the cross-profiles of 86 valley cross-profiles in the Zardkuh Mountain in order to understand the evolutional patterns of valleys. Assessment of using the power law function indicates that b values for both valley sides range from 1.0...
متن کاملJohn Lubbock’s Early Contribution to the Understanding of River Terraces and Their Importance to Geography, Archaeology and Earth Science
In his writings John Lubbock expounded views on the understanding of past climates, prehistoric faunas, early humans, and the evolution of landscape and river systems. His contributions on some of these related topics are scarcely remembered, despite comparison with modern thinking showing them frequently to have been prescient. He visited the Somme valley, observing river terrace gravels and P...
