| description | It is a known fact that no part of the earth surface is free from threat.It applies to Birbhum District,West Bengal, Indian Lateritic Terrain also. The existing terrain is characterized by mainlyclimatogenetic processes. Though the impact of climate change is vital in the shaping of the lessertopographies in the study-area. The study-area is characterized by micro landforms e. g. rills,gullies, water falls, terraces, gorges type features and limestone topographic type features. Thedenudational processes are very significant in the area in general but the differential erosion isevident in particular. It resembles the topographies with the African and the Brazillian Highlands.This paper interprets the rill and gully erosion risk in the lateritic terrain and their consequencesin regional sustainable development and environmental management. |
