Geography

A drainage system whose pattern has been determined by previously existing geological terraces and that has been let down, as erosion progressed upon rocks and rock structure of very different nature. The major streams maintain their old courses and generally are not in adjustment with the topography and rock structures of the new terrain. Source: European Union. (references)
