Abstract

Consideration of the relative rates of uplift-erosion and erosion-denudation leads to the recognition of nine cases which define the conditions of geomorphological evolution. It is concluded that a peneplanated surface may develop during active tectonic uplift, and that the total volume of clastic sediments produced during any stage is inversely proportional to the rate of uplift.
