세계 여러 지역의 케스타

Cuesta자료료 맨날 Paris만 나오는 것 같아서 다른 동네 사진도 좀 찾아봤습니다.

Cuesta도 Dome형태와 Basin형태가 있습니다.

참고로, 케스타하고 호그백은 뭐가 다를까요?

 Cuestas and Hogbacks.
When the rocks are uplifted by the mountain building process and are tilted in one direction,
erosion of the softer, less resistant rock occurs leaving a ridge of the more resistant rock.
If the angle of dip is low, the ridges are called Cuestas (a),
but if the rocks dip at a high angle, the ridges are Hogback (b)

Cuesta topography developed by differential erosion on alternating and gently dipping Jurassic limestone and marl units
(contact zone between the Iberian Chain and the Ebro Cenozoic Basin, NE Spain)

Hogback on the southern flank of the Gavbast anticlinal ridge ,
developed on marls of the Gachsaran Formation capped by Guri Limestone (Bastak, Zagros Mountains, Iran)
