Geomorphic and tectonic evolution of the Ecuadorian Andes

Auteur :
COLTORTI, M.

Description :
The AA. aim to illustrate the geomorphological evolution of the Ecuadorian Andes and especially the significance of the planation surface. The planation surface is a starting point for the recent evolution of the Andean Cordillera, constraints the nature of tectonic processes, and provides a better understanding of the other geomorphic units, such as the volcanic chains and the Interandean Depression.
