Document Summary
Factors affecting lse: tectonics, climate, topography (fig 13. 15, geology (ph 14. 3, biology (ph 14. 6) Adding ideas about tectonic processes and isostatic compensation leads us to (fig 14. 4 & lse video: transient (non-equal landscapes, steady state (equal landscapes, details change, but general characteristics are stable. Landscapes reflect a competition between these two! See fig 14. 6 factors that cause r to go up more dissected factors that cause d to go up less dissected if a goes up, advective transport rate increases, so landscape becomes more dissected. In young landscapes, erosion is focused in gullies, affecting only a small part of the landscape. In mature landscapes, erosion is distributed throughout, and rivers are linked to mountain tops by hillslopes. Egologic underpinnings of geomorphology fig 1. 1, 1. 3.
