Climatic Accidents in Landscape-Making and Volcanoes as Landscape Forms
The Rim of the Pacific
The Pacific is a girdle surrounding deep ocean of Pacific; if we neglect curvature of earth, may be likened to raised rim of a tray. Over vast areas of basin floor is comparatively smooth?but not quite smooth, as there is an unexplained small relief of valleys, ridges, and troughs (Menard, 1956) that has recently been discovered and is ubiquitous except where obliterated by accumulation of lava and of sediment forming archipelagic aprons (Menard)…

Some European geomorphologists now treat as merely a synonym of valley, without distinction as to kind or s ze, including some mere creeks in this category. Thus, in a recently published work on coastal geomorphology by Guilcher, is defined as any valley system partly invaded by the sea. Most commonly the drowning is due to the Flandrian transgression; it can also be the result of a subsidence (Guilcher, 1954, pp. 117, 119). This practice follows…

Tests of a German Non-Cyclic Theory and Classification of Coasts
As A basis for coastal study and for the classification of coasts Valentin x has Ldistingu hed primari y betwee advancing and retreating coasts, a distinction which becomes in practice separation of those showing evidence of recent advance and recent retreat, or of gain and loss of land. The object of these notes is to introduce some illustrations of coastal features, which are briefly described and are classified as nearly as possible according …
Tectonic Relief
Tectonic Relief
Tectonic relief is something quite distinct from structural relief, which in the accepted usage of geomorphology is a product of erosional sculpture that has become adjusted to the structure of the region. Structural escarpments, whether at the outcrops of horizontal or inclined strata, are among its most con? spicuous features, but structural relief includes the hogbacks, homoclinal ridges, and cuestas as a whole which mark the outcrops of hard …

names is small, considered country by country, and they are of two kinds: those known to all educated Englishmen, and those known to Englishmen of special knowledge (sailors, geologists, archaeologists, historians, etc). A name such as Gulf of Danzig needs no explanation. Everybody knows or ought to know where and what the gulf is. But the name of Hel Point*' (also a feature on the coast of Poland but one without a Polish name), is known only to …
The Reconstruction of a Pyrenean Landscape
Accidents and Interruptions in the Cycle of Marine Erosion
IN New Zealand the rate of retrogradation of the shore is very rapid on the cliff d mountainous coasts in the vicin ty W llington, largely because of a steep offshore profile and restricted supply of beach-making waste.1 The scour of strong tidal currents in the narrows of Cook Strait prevents the accumulation of locally derived waste as a shelf and little sand is brought in from outside sources by transport alongshore. In general it may be said …
