Dating Quaternary fault scarps formed in alluvium using morphologic parameters
Ages of fault scarps, as well as those other types of transport-limited slopes, can be estimated by comparing their morphology with the morphology of scarps of known age. Age estimates are derived by fitting the scarp profiles to synthetic profiles
than 200 scarp profiles demonstrate that morphologic variation not related to scarp age can introduce significant uncertainties into morphology-derived age estimates.

The significance of scarp retreat for cenozoic landform evolution on the Colorado Plateau, U.S.A.
In examining whether the denudational efficiency of scarp retreat was sufficient to account for the wide erosional gaps in the sedimentary cover, rates of scarp retreat were determined by using the information of dated volcanic material

Talus and pediment flatirons erosional and depositional features on dryland cuesta scarps in Arid and semi-arid environments. Geomorphological and pedological aspects.
of the cuesta scarps.

The author deals with the origin, development and shape of escarpments in context to relief forming crustal movements and the degradation processes due to climatic influences. The described escarpments vary from fault scarps and fault line scarps

A flight of Quaternary marine terraces provides a framework for quantitative analysis of abandoned sea cliff modification as a function of time. The relationships are weaker than for stream terraces and fault scarps in unconsolidated materials
but the method can probably be used successfully to distinguish early, middle and late Quaternary fault scarps or sea cliffs in consolidated materials.

Progressive changes in the morphology of fluvial terraces and scarps along the Rappahannock River, Virginia

Talus and pediment flatirons have developed as a consequence of scarp retreat and alternating slope processes in humid and arid phases. They can be used for the interpretation of geomorphic and tectonic history. As can be deduced from present-day
processual activity, scarp backwearing as a result of slope dissection and base level lowering is more effective during dry phases than in the most humid phases which are characterized by smooth debris-throughput slopes. Present-day activity is also

Rates of change and degradation of hillslopes formed in unconsolidated materials: a morphometric approach date quaternary fault scarps in Western Utah| USA

Sandstone scarp form and retreat in the Land of Standing Rocks, Canyonlands National Park, Utah

Models for the origin of the curvilinear features suggest that their formation probably incorporates several processes, including scarp retreat by backwasting, partially through the sublimation of ice from the substrate which then allows

Submersible exploration of a young scarp in the San Clemente fault zone, at 1,800m in the California Borderland, discovered tall piles of hydrothermal barite and dense colonies of large benthic animals. Phenomena along this active strike-slip fault

eroding events are noted, resulting from particular wave, wind, tide combinations. The spatial variability in dune scarping is associated with vegetation and soil development, and slope failures range from granular avalanches to retrogressive rotational

lengthy pluvial periods and rather short interpluvial ones. Rates of scarp retreat, through repeatedly occurring cycles, are estimated to range from 10 to 60 m/10 yr depending on relief and lithostructure of any given environment.

of heated pore fluids. The latter process creates space for the intruding magma and initiates a hydrothermal system, which can explain the observed hydrothermal deposits around fault scarps on the basin floor.
