Presentation Transcript

  1. TORRENTIAL PHENOMENA

  2. TORRENTIAL PHENOMENA • EROSION • WEATHERING • ROCKFALLING OR ROCKFALLS • LANDSLIDING OR LANSLIDES

  3. WEATHERING • FROST WEATHERING • ENDOGENOUS WEATHERING • BIOLOGICAL WEATHERING

  4. FROST WEATHERING • CAUSE: THE FREEZE AND MELTING PROCEDURES OF WATER AND ICE

  5. ENDOGENOUS (OR PRESSURE) WEATHERING • CAUSE: ENDOGENOUS FORCES OF EARTH

  6. CHEMICAL WEATHERING • CAUSE: THE ROOT SYSTEM OF PLANTS

  7. CHEMICAL WEATHERING • CAUSE: THE ROOT SYSTEM OF PLANTS

  8. ROCKFALLING WHEN THE WEATHERING OCCURS IN VERTICAL SURFACES THE PHENOMENA OF ROCKFALLING IS APPEARED

  9. ROCKFALLING

  10. ROCKFALLING

  11. THE BASIC DIFFERENCE WEATHERING AND ROCKFALLING • THE FORMER IS NON HOMICIDAL • THE LATTER IS HOMICIDAL

  12. LANDSLIDE OT LANDSLIDING VARIOUS TYPES OF LANDSLIDES • SHALLOW • DEEP • HORIZONTAL • VERTICAL MOST OF THEM ESPECIALLY THE LARGE ONE, ARE DISASTROUS AND HOMICIDAL

  13. MOST IMPORTANT TORRENTIAL PHENOMENA FOR THE MED ENVIRONMENTS EROSION (ESPECIALLY THE EXTENDED SURFACE AND RILL EROSION WHICH DERIVES FIRST TO DENUDATION AND THEN TO DESERTIFICATION)

  14. DESSERTIFICATION THE MOST IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION AND IN THE SEMI-ARID CLIMATES

  15. THE TORRENTIAL PHENOMENA SUPPLY WITH TRANSPORT MATERIAL THE TORRENT BEDS

  16. TYPES OF TRANSPORT MATERIALS • SUSPENDED LOAD FINE MATERIALS • BED LOAD COARSE MATERIALS

  17. DEPOSITION THE TRANSPORTED MATERIALS ARE DEPOSITED AFTER THE MOUTH OR GORGE OF THE WATERSHED CREATING THE DEPOSITIONAL LANDFORMS

  18. DEPOSITIONAL LANDFORMS • ALLUVIAL ZONE • ALLUVIAL FAN • ALLUVIAL CONE

  19. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DEPOSITIONAL LANDFORMS FOR THE “ADAPTED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT” THE COMPOSITION OF THEM IS EXTREMELY APROPRIATE FOR CULTIVATING (MOISTURE EXISTENCE, SUFFICIENT POROUS E.T.C)

  20. NEVERTHELESS Coarse-grained depositional landforms are unsuitable for cultivation Fine-grained depositional landforms are suitable for cultivation Fine-grained depositional landforms are the most favorite areas among others for cultivation in Med-areas

  21. SYNOPSIS OF PART A WATERSHED MORPHOLOGY AND CHARACTERISTICS

  22. PART B WATERSHED MANAGEMENT AND MORE SPECIFICALLY ADAPTIVE WATERSHED MANAGMENT
