In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Rejuvenation 2. Types of Rejuvenation 3. Causes 4. Topographic Expressions. Meaning of Rejuvenation: Rejuvenation simply means acceleration of erosive power of the fluvial process (rivers) caused by a variety of factors. Rejuvenation lengthens the period of cycle of erosion. For example, if the cycle of erosion is passing through senile [...]
In this article we will discuss about the Penck’s model of the cycle of erosion. It may be pointed out that German scientist Walther Penck pleaded for the rejection of Davisian model of geographical cycle based on time-dependent series of landform development and presented his own model of 'morphological system' or 'morphological analysis' for the explanation of landscape development. The [...]
In this article we will discuss about the meaning and causes of interruptions in the cycle of erosion. Meaning of Interruptions in the Cycle of Erosion: Davisian cyclic concept envisages gradual sequential changes in uplifted landmass through the stages of youth, mature and old culminating into the development of low featureless plain called as peneplain. The completion of such generalized [...]
