Micro-Basins on Slopes in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia: Characteristics and Development

The development of micro‐basins on quartzite ridges in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia, is presented. It is suggested that micro‐basin development depends on the complex interaction of tree growth and decay, rock fabric and termite activity. The micro‐basins have a role in the morphologic...

Summary:The development of micro‐basins on quartzite ridges in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia, is presented. It is suggested that micro‐basin development depends on the complex interaction of tree growth and decay, rock fabric and termite activity. The micro‐basins have a role in the morphological development of slopes on the quartzite.
