Recession rates of waterfalls in Boso Peninsula, Japan, and a predictive equation

Abstract: Rates of waterfall recession, and major factors that influence the rate, were studied using waterfalls in Boso Peninsula, Japan. The mean rate of waterfall recession was estimated by determining the age and original location. The principal factor in determining the rate of waterfall recession is the ratio of the erosive force of stream to the bedrock resistance. This is expressed in terms of measurable variables, which include the discharge (drainage area and precipitation), the width and height of the waterfa… Show more

“…To quantify the effects of flow and lip length on the recession rate of Niagara Falls, we use a previously proposed model which estimates the relationship between the waterfall recession rate and relevant physical parameters, namely erosive force and bedrock strength (Hayakawa and Matsukura, 2003a). Supposing that the rate of waterfall recession depends on the erosional This equation has been found to give good order-of-magnitude estimates of waterfall recession rates in many areas (Hayakawa and Matsukura, 2003b;Hayakawa, 2005;Hayakawa and Wohl, 2005;Hayakawa et al, , 2008a, with the exception of rivers carrying abundant transported sediments (Hayakawa et al, 2008b;).…”

“…El efecto que tiene una fluctuación en el nivel de base (Chorley et al, 1986) se conoce bien desde el modelo evolutivo de Davis (1932), de tal forma que una transgresión favorece la acumulación, mientras que el retroceso promueve la erosión (Hack, 1975;Chorley et al, 1986). La caída del nivel de base es uno de los mecanismos principales en la formación de los knickpoints (Davis, 1932), y sus efectos se han evaluado de forma deductiva (Davis, 1932;Hack, 1975), numérica (Howard et al, 1994;Whipple y Tucker, 1999;Snyder et al, 2002) y empírica (Hayakawa y Matsukura, 2003;Bishop et al, 2005;Crosby y Whipple, 2006). A pesar de que los movimientos negativos del nivel de base son responsables de la generación de knickpoints, estos descensos no son eventos aislados y en muchos de los casos resultan de otros procesos, como pueden ser una mayor velocidad del levantamiento tectónico, un rebote Figura 2.…”

“…El aumento de la distancia que retroceden los knickpoints con respecto al área de drenaje, estimado por el ajuste de la curva potencial, sugiere que la propagación puede darse en un rango amplio de cuencas (Figura 5 en Loget y van den Driessche, 2009). La velocidad del retroceso registrada es del orden de 10 -3 m/a (Hayakawa y Matsukura, 2003) hasta valores excepcionalmente altos de ~1 m/a para las cataratas del Niágara (Gilbert, 1907;Hayakawa y Matsukura, 2009). Los resultados obtenidos hasta el momento permiten confirmar que existe una deTabla 1.…”

“…In spite of the widening scope of research in knickzone modeling [21], generating a regional scale map of knickzones remains a challenge. Regional knickzone distribution maps are not only valuable resources for fluvial geomorphology [18,22] but are recently being incorporated into mass-wasting inventories for improved detection of debris flow [20].…”
