The Lockyer Creek is a creek in South East Queensland, Australia.A tributary of the Brisbane River, the creek is a major drainage system in the Lockyer Valley.Rising on the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range, the creek flows generally north-easterly for more than 100 kilometres (62 mi) before it reaches its confluence with the Brisbane River north-northeast of Lowood, and downstream ...
Badlands are characterized by a distinctive badlands topography. [3] [4] This is terrain in which water erosion has cut a very large number of deep drainage channels, separated by short, steep ridges (interfluves). [5] Such a drainage system is said to have a very fine drainage texture, [6] as measured by its drainage density. Drainage density ...
The main face is on the north western flank, cut by a gully, with the lower slabs providing the majority of the rock climbing. Bull crag is also on this flank, a little to the south. From Sergeant's Crag the ridge drops slightly before reaching its terminus at Eagle Crag .
Gully erosion may also advance laterally through similar methods, including mass movement, acting on the gully walls (banks), and the development of 'branches' (a type of tributary). Gullies reduce the productivity of farmlands where they incise into the land and produce sediment that may choke downstream waterbodies and reduce water quality ...
[3] The furrowed moraines channeling rain runoff in the area east of the Missouri Coteau in the western United States and western Canada at the base of the Rocky Mountains. In the western United States, tongue-like protrusions of solidified lava, forming a sort of canyon. In Wisconsin it is applied to valleys. These valleys tend to have high ...
A gulch is a deep V-shaped valley formed by erosion. It may contain a small stream or dry creek bed and is usually larger in size than a gully. [1] Sudden intense rainfall upstream may produce flash floods in the bed of the gulch. Witches Gulch found in the Dells of the Wisconsin River. In eastern Canada, gulch refers to: [2]
The topography of South Eastern Nigeria determines its vulnerability to water erosion. There are three types in the area: plains and lowlands, uplands, and highlands. The highlands, which consist of cuesta landscapes, are resistant to erosion due to their soil composition, but they serve as paths for the water to runoff and erode the lowland areas.
The topography of the Appalachian High Country AVA, is located within the Appalachian Mountains, is characterized by high elevations and steep slopes.Elevations within the AVA range from 1,338 feet (408 m) to over 6,000 feet (1,800 m) with most vineyards planted at elevations between 2,290 and 4,630 feet (700–1,410 m).
