Tech/Engineering - Geology | | Italian term or phrase: fenomeni di antecedenza delle valli trasversali | I'm stuck with this sentence:
I fianchi delle pieghe a vergenza appenninica hanno accompagnato più dolcemente il pendio verso il graben del Serchio, con fenomeni di antecedenza delle valli trasversali apuane, a deflusso “adriatico”, rispetto al tardivo sollevarsi dei pilastri della stessa fossa tettonica.
Can anyone help me, especially with the translation of "fenomeni di antecedenza delle valli traversali"?
Thank you! |

Reference information:
Antecedence is recognized as a delicate balance between the rate of uplift and the rate of river erosion, so that the former never exceeds the latter.

One theory posed by Powell for such relationships is that of antecedence. According to this view, the rivers were already in their present positions when the various anticlinal folds and upwarps began to grow. A relevant analogy is a saw into which a log is being pushed. The saw represents the river and its continuing degradation, and the log represents the growing upwarp.
