modelé

Explanation:
Modelé (géologie)
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
Aller à : Navigation, Rechercher Cet article est une ébauche concernant la géologie et un terme géographique.
Vous pouvez partager vos connaissances en l’améliorant. (Comment ?).


Un modelé en pinacles à Bryce Canyon aux États-Unis.En géologie, le modelé désigne la forme extérieure d'un terrain, généralement à grande échelle. Le modelé est l'un des élément constitutif d'un paysage.

Il existe plusieurs types de modelés, qui dépendent chacun d'une forme d'érosion :

un modelé glaciaire est le résulat de l'érosion provoquée par un glacier ; exemples : moraine, drumlin, kame, esker, vallée glaciaire, cirque glaciaire, épaulement glaciaire, etc.
un modelé fluvial correspond à l'action d'un fleuve ;
un modelé de versant ;
un modelé anthropique est dû aux activités humaines.
Décrire un modelé, c'est par conséquent tenir compte des éléments érosifs et de la nature des roches. Un relief dont le modelé s'explique principalement par l'érosion est dit « relief d'érosion. » On ne parle pas de modelé lorsqu'on analyse les effets de la tectonique à petit échelle.
