Geomorphological features of valleys 'dissecting' the diluvial uplands of Sagamino and Musashino, Kanto Plain: a study of valleys formed by remnant streams and air-laid tephra

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the evolution of these valleys. Geomorphological features are investigated in their planforms, longitudinal profiles and cross section forms of valleys. Geological stratigraphy along the valleys is analysed from boring data and observations of outcrops in the investigated areas. Valleys investigated are those of Sakai River, Hikiji River and Hato River in Sagamino and Kanda R., Shakujii R., Sen R., No R., Kurome R. and Toshitorazu R. in Musashino. -from English summary
