Climatic Geomorphology
Figure 15.1. Piedmont deposits in which the discrimination between alluvial fan and pediment surfaces
proposed by Bull (1977) are not applicable. This is due to the absence of channel incisions which impede
the direct observation of the underlying bedrock. This picture can illustrate a mantled pediment, and also
coalescent alluvial fans. La Sierra del Cerro del Coronel, Province of San Juan, Argentina. Andean
Cordillera.
Figure 15.2. Pediment surfaces merging with the upper terrace of the Ouad Ziz. Central Atlas, Morocco.
