On the problem of reciprocation in the fluvial relief evolution

Abstract

The author of the reviewed work is of opinion that fluvial relief evolution proceeds progressively at early stage being controlled by erosion and then the process is reversed owing to dominant alluviation. This assertion is absurd. As is the case of any genetic type of relief, the fluvial landforms evolve progressively at all the stages, under effect of interrelated erosion and sedimentation.
