The Gäu Plateaus〔Elkins, T.H. (1972). ''Germany'' (3rd ed.). London: Chatto & Windus, 1972, pp 186-188. ASIN B0011Z9KJA. 〕 ((ドイツ語:Neckar- und Taubergäuplatten)) form the largest natural region in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Not surprisingly, the individual geographical units of this large region show considerable variations in climate and soil types. A common feature of the region, however, is its landscape of flat-topped hills of Muschelkalk, gently rolling tracts of loess and plateaus in which the layers of Muschelkalk have been covered by sediments of Gipskeuper and Lettenkeuper. The Gäu Plateaus are the northwestern part of the Southern Scarplands. == Location and geology == The Gäu Plateaus extend from the Upper Rhine to the Tauber valley. They are bordered to the west by the Black Forest and the Upper Rhine Plain, to the north by the Odenwald and the Mainfranken Plateaus, to the east by the Franconian and Swabian Keuper-Lias Lands and the Swabian Jura. The underlying rock is made up of the layer of Muschelkalk, which is largely covered by Lettenkeuper or loess. The soils in the region are mostly of very high quality. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gäu Plateaus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
