Abstract
[Abstract] That many landforms have their origins in the distant past is highlighted by the multistage concept, whereby the structural properties of bedrock which have been exploited
by shallow groundwaters are taken fully into account. Fractures of various types are par-
ticularly vulnerable to weathering and hence to erosion. Examples are discussed from
various lithological and environmental settings - plutonic, volcanic and sedimentary
rocks, and different climates.
