A planar, sloping rock surface forming a ramp up to the front of a retreating mountain range in an arid region. It may be covered locally by thin alluvial deposits.
The broad, nearly horizontal bedrock surface at the base of a retreating desert cliff.
A broad, gently sloping erosional surface of low local relief adjacent to an eroding cliff or mountain range. The area is likely covered with sediments.
A broad surface at the base of a receding mountain. The pediment develops when running water erodes most of the mass of the mountain.
A gently sloping erosion surface formed at the base of a receding mountain front or cliff. It cuts across bedrock and can be covered with a veneer of sediment. Pediments characteristically form in arid and semi-arid climates.
a gently sloping erosion surface or plain of low relief formed by running water in arid or semiarid region at the base of a receding mountain front
A broad, gently sloping erosion surface developed at the base of a mountain range in a dry region and is usually covered with a thin layer of gravel.
(soil): The flat area at the footslope of a mountain or hill.
A sloping bedrock surface at the base of a mountain, formed when erosion removes much of the mountain's mass.
An inclined slope formed by fluvial erosion, generally along mountain fronts; They may resemble broad alluvial fans in morphology but consist of a thin veneer or cover of coarse alluvial sediment over the erosional surface.
gently-inclined erosional surface veneered with fluvial (stream-depos-ited) gravel and occurring between mountain fronts and valley or basin bottoms.
The sloping ground leading to a mountain range.
A gently sloping surface, usually covered with gravel, the result of erosion.
A gradually sloping bedrock surface located at the base of fluvial- eroded mountain range. Found in arid locations and normally covered by fluvial deposits.
An eroded bedrock surface that slopes away from the base of mountains in arid regions and is thinly or discontinuously covered by alluvium.
