Figure 3—Bedrock Weathering and Sediment Production.
Weathering rate, W(h) [m/m.y.], as a function of sediment thickness, h [m] on a pediment. Dashed lines represent alluvial surface lowering rates (labeled e and e’ [m/m.y.]). Here, the bare-bedrock weathering rate is 14 m/m.y., and h and h’ represent stable equilibrium sediment blanket thickness.
