Klinge (landform)
''Klingen'' are small, narrow, steep V-shaped valleys formed by the erosion, erosive forces of water and suspended abrasive particles, gravel and pebbles. They are usually side valleys without a discernible valley floor that lead into a main valley. Further incision through ablation and headward erosion is mainly caused by the waters of small, steep, fast flowing, streams or becks and their processes are still visible today. Erosion, sedimentation and transport are mutually dependent. The term ''klinge'' is German and is used to refer to European stream landforms, especially in southern Germany and eastern France. Name The description ''klinge'' for small V-shaped valleys may derive from the noise of the streams when in spate (''klingen'' in German means "ring" "clang" or "jingle"). Another interpretation maintains that the little valleys were supposed to be cut by blades ("Klinge" = blade). In the whole of southwest Germany, including the Swabian Jura, Swabian and Franconian Jur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
