Drainage Modifications and Glaciation in the Danbury Region Connecticut State of Connecticut State Geological and Natural History Survey Bulletin No. 30 This surface, or “peneplain,” was probably the result of denudation working away the beds almost to sea-level. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 7, Slice 4 "Coquelin" to "Costume" The final result is the reduction of the land surface to an approximate plain, called a peneplain, somewhere near sea level. The Economic Aspect of Geology At a stage shortly preceding the base-level stage the surface would be a peneplain.

Davis has called peneplain. Popular Science Monthly Oct, Nov, Dec, 1915 — Volume 86 A few other points in the vicinity failed to be reduced to the level of the peneplain.

Time and Change The region is an ancient peneplain, uplifted and dissected in late Tertiary times, with mature valleys whose gentle gradients are unbroken by waterfalls and rapids. The Elements of Geology This cycle had not been completed, that is, the work of base-leveling had not been altogether accomplished, when the peneplain was elevated, and the cycle, though still incomplete, brought to a close. The Geography of the Region about Devils Lake and the Dalles of the Wisconsin 2011-11-29T03:00:17.347Z This peneplain was later upraised into a plateau and its downward inclination towards the east increased. North America 2011-05-05T02:00:20.027Z Thus the present flat plain was formed and the old valley floor, a local peneplain developed on the limestone, was hidden. Drainage Modifications and Glaciation in the Danbury Region Connecticut State of Connecticut State Geological and Natural History Survey Bulletin No. 30 The Piedmont plateau, which lies at the eastern foot of the Blue Ridge, is not really a plateau but a peneplain or ancient lowland worn almost to a plain. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America On the eastern side of the continent, as we have seen, a broad peneplain had been developed by the close of the Cretaceous. The Elements of Geology By the uplift, the streams were rejuvenated, and sunk their valleys into the elevated peneplain. The Geography of the Region about Devils Lake and the Dalles of the Wisconsin 2011-11-29T03:00:17.347Z The highest summits in the diagram represent portions of the Schooley peneplain; if the depressions could be refilled the surface of the great plateau formed by the elevation of this plain would be restored. North America 2011-05-05T02:00:20.027Z On the other hand, the northwest-southeast drainage lines across the strike of formations, coincide with the slope toward the sea of the uplifted peneplain whose dissected surface is represented by the crests of the uplands. Drainage Modifications and Glaciation in the Danbury Region Connecticut State of Connecticut State Geological and Natural History Survey Bulletin No. 30 Yet in spite of these handicaps the northwestern peneplain with its vast open stretches, its cattle, its wheat, and its opportunities is a most attractive land. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America Any residual masses which rise above them are called MONADNOCKS, from the name of a conical peak of New Hampshire which overlooks the now uplifted peneplain of southern New England. The Elements of Geology Thus a new cycle of erosion was begun, and the uplifted peneplain was dissected by the quickened streams which sank their valleys promptly into the slightly resistant sandstone. The Geography of the Region about Devils Lake and the Dalles of the Wisconsin 2011-11-29T03:00:17.347Z In other words, the western slope is a tilted peneplain, bearing on its surface remnants of older uplands. North America 2011-05-05T02:00:20.027Z The whole land area at the time of flooding was virtually a peneplain. The Lani People Wonderful as these gorges certainly are, the Piedmont plain or the northwestern peneplain is far more wonderful. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America This immense area may be regarded as an ancient peneplain truncating the bases of long-vanished mountains and dissected after elevation. The Elements of Geology Swamps and peat bogs are abundant on its undrained surface, and to this drift sheet belong the lake lands of our northern states and of the Laurentian peneplain of Canada. The Elements of Geology In Pennsylvania and the states lying to the south the Mesozoic peneplain lies along the summits of the mountain ridges. The Elements of Geology Such are the dissected cores of lofty mountains, as the Alps, and the worn-down bases of ancient ranges, as in New England, large areas in the Piedmont Belt, and the Laurentian peneplain. The Elements of Geology In the great plains of North America two of the divisions, that is, the Atlantic coastal plain of the southeast and the peneplain of the northwest, owe their present form to the forces of erosion. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America The end of this long era found here a wide peneplain crossed by sluggish wandering rivers and overlooked by detached hills as yet unreduced to the general level. The Elements of Geology We have already studied a very ancient peneplain whose edge is exposed to view deep on the walls of the Colorado Canyon. The Elements of Geology The widened rock bench forms when uplifted a plain of marine abrasion, which like the peneplain bevels across strata regardless of their various inclinations and various degrees of hardness. The Elements of Geology How may a plain of marine abrasion be expected to differ from a peneplain in its mantle of waste? The Elements of Geology From South Dakota and Nebraska northward far into Canada and westward to the Rocky Mountains there extends an ancient peneplain worn down to gentle relief by the erosion of millions of years. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America As an example of an ancient peneplain uplifted and dissected we may cite the Piedmont Belt, a broad upland lying between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic coastal plain. The Elements of Geology Between these mediterraneans lay a great central land which included the pre-Cambrian U-shaped area of the Laurentian peneplain, and probably extended southward to the latitude of New Orleans. The Elements of Geology Should you expect the velocity of an earthquake to be greater in a peneplain or in a river delta? The Elements of Geology Immense regional intrusions, the cores of once lofty mountain ranges, are found upon the Laurentian peneplain. The Elements of Geology The plains of North America may be divided into four parts according to the character of their surface: the Atlantic coastal plain, the prairies, the northwestern peneplain, and the southwestern high plains. The Red Man's Continent: a chronicle of aboriginal America Along the Atlantic coast the Mesozoic peneplain may be traced shoreward to where it disappears from view beneath an unconformable cover of early Tertiary marine strata.
