Headward erosion is erosion at the origin of a stream channel, which causes the origin to move back away from the direction of the stream flow, lengthening...

or stream erosion occurs with continued water flow along a linear feature. The erosion is both downward, deepening the valley, and headward, extending...

Bridge. The waterfall itself retreated upstream as a result of rapid headward erosion and disappeared within a few months as the river carved a new, more...

spillway was reopened. As water flowed over the emergency spillway, headward erosion threatened to undermine and collapse the concrete weir, which could...

basins formerly separated by high ground, such as mountains or ridges. Headward erosion from a lower basin may breach the barrier, as may spilling over from...

streams are streams whose course has been determined by selective headward erosion along weak strata. These streams have generally developed after the...

them to downcut much faster. From 5.5 million to 5 million years ago, headward erosion to the north and east consolidated these streams into one major river...

6 km) away. The gorge started forming about 10,000 years ago through headward erosion caused by Rainbow Falls, a 91 feet (28 m) waterfall at the gorge's...

(alternately headcut) is an erosional feature of some intermittent and perennial streams. Headcuts and headward erosion are hallmarks of unstable expanding...

the basin was captured by the High Rhine as a result of headward erosion (fluvial erosion). The capture was not always only along the present Rhine...

their gradient increased and they responded by downcutting faster. Headward erosion and mass wasting helped to erode cliffs back into their fault-bounded...

Formation. Headward erosion by the Prairie Dog Town fork of the Red River, into the caprock escarpment of the Llano Estacado, caused differential erosion. This...

usually the drainage basin) of the fluvial system, which leads to headward erosion along the length of either a stream or river, gradually lowering its...

Horn Spire of rock, also known as a pyramidal peak, formed by the headward erosion of three or more cirques around a single mountain. It is an extreme...

upstream extent) of a channel is called a headcut. Headcuts resulting in headward erosion are hallmarks of unstable expanding drainage features such as actively...

headward erosion or downslope convergence, whether inherited or newly formed. Depending on different geological factors such as weathering, erosion,...

initially still fell over 100 m (330 ft) into the sinkhole, very rapid headward erosion has since left no significant waterfall at this location. La Chute...

gradient on its much shorter way to the North Sea causes much stronger headward erosion than that of the much older River Danube (see the Danube upper river...

by 1.2 mya further caused its tributaries to cut down even deeper. Headward erosion of one of those tributaries, the Paria River, eroded north-northwestward...

headward erosion is mainly caused by the waters of small, steep, fast flowing, streams or becks and their processes are still visible today. Erosion,...

tablelands are often known as plateaus. As plateaus are dissected by the headward erosion and incision of river and stream courses and the retreat of their bounding...
