Explain the concept of pediplanation combine the ideas of Davis pench and wood with his own elaborate

Answer 1

Concept of Pediplantation:

• The formation of pediplains by coalescence of pediments is called as the pediplantation.
• The processes through which pediplains forms is known as pediplanation.
• The concepts of pediplain and pediplanation were first developed by geologist Lester Charles king in his 1942 book South African Scenery.
• Pediplanation, the standard mode of cyclic landscape evolution by scarp retreat and pedimentation, is widely found in most parts of the world.
• The individual landforms developed under the cycle may differ considerably according to local types of bedrock and the manner in which geomorphic processes act upon the terrain, but the general operation of the pediplanation cycle is that it tends to reduce uplifted land, whatever its form, ultimately to a landscape of low relief through a series of intermediate stages during which the hillslopes retreat more or less parallel to themselves, leaving at reduced level ever broadening pediments which reach from the foot of each hillslope to a nearby stream or river bed.
