متن کاملStrath Development in Small Arid Watersheds: Case Study of South Mountain, Sonoran Desert, Arizona
Analyses of ephemeral granitic drainages of <5 km at South Mountain metamorphic core complex, central Arizona, reveal a previously undocumented process of bedrock strath formation in this setting. Granitic channel banks experience a higher degree of mineral decay than that of granitic channel floors. Electron microscope observations show that grussification along the granitic channel banks occu...
متن کاملStudying Effectiveness of Landsat ETM+ Satellite Images Classification Methods in Identification of desert pavements (Case study: South of Semnan)
