| Description | Numerous dry valleys in the region were presumably formed the same way, many probably by heavy precipitation immediately after the last eruptions. Recent erosion is primarily due to higher than average rainfall, though this has been accentuated by land development with sowing of pastures and clearing gullies of vegetation. The presence in the gully bottoms of several layers of alluvial sand carrying buried soils indicates that similar minor fluctuations in rainfall have occurred in the past. Detailed geological studies of physiography and Recent deposits provide the best clues to the type of erosion that can be expected at any locality. |
