Concepts

Lateral movement of river channels through erosion and deposition processes over time

Hillslope soil movement process modeled as diffusive flux proportional to topographic gradient

Physical principle balancing soil transport and production processes to predict soil thickness evolution

Lobate or tongue-shaped masses of rock and ice that form under cold climates in alpine regions and at high latitudes

Rate of bedrock weathering to mobile soil, typically decreasing exponentially with soil depth
