Different views on methods of special geomorphological mapping

Abstract

The authors object to most of the critical comments of Yu. P. Seliverstov on the paper «Principles and some methodical questions of compilation of special geomorphological maps intended for bauxite searches» («Geomorphology», n. 4, 1975). Main difference in their views results from the authors opinion (on the contrary to Seliverstov's one) that weathering crusts are not synchronous to planation surfaces formation, they think that once pediplain is uplifted and dissected the pediment slopes stop parallel retreat.
