Stone-banked Terraces in Atacama Desert

Annals of The Tohoku Geographycal Asocciation, 1970
In the survey of pediments near Antofagasta, Chile, the writer found stone-banked terraces. They occur on moderate slope facing to the Pacific Ocean. They have frontal banks less than 20 cm high and treads extending about 2 m back. On slopes steeper than 10 degree, their shapes become to be broken.The climate of the region is very arid and there is no ...
