Description :
This paper describes a process of terrace development in rapidly degrading channels that produces a physically continuous terrace tread that consists of temporally nonsynchronous segments. Moreover, the AA. show that lower terraces developed in the upstream portion of a degrading channel may correlate with higher terrace surfaces developed farther down channel. The results are based upon data collected and observations made in degrading braided channels in a laboratory flume and in a degrading braided Channel, Ash Creek, Arizona.
