An interfluve is a narrow, elongated and plateau-like or ridge-like landform between two valleys.〔Ernst Neef (ed.): ''Riedel''. In: Ders.: ''Das Gesicht der Erde'' (Taschenbuch der physischen Geographie). Harri Deutsch Verlag, Frankfurt/M, 1970, p. 774.〕〔Leser, Hartmut, ed. (2005). ''Wörterbuch Allgemeine Geographie'', 13th ed., dtv, Munich, p. 766, ISBN 978-3-423-03422-7.〕 Whittow, more generally, defines an interfluve as an area of higher ground between two rivers in the same drainage system.〔Whittow, John (1984). ''Dictionary of Physical Geography''. London: Penguin, 1984, p. 275. ISBN 0-14-051094-X. 〕 == Formation == These landforms are created by earth flow ("solifluction"). They can also be former river terraces that are subsequently bisected by fluvial erosion. In cases where there is a deposit of younger sedimentary beds (loess, colluvium) the interfluves have a rounder and less rugged appearance. A consequence of interfluve formation is the so-called "interfluvial landscape."〔 == Occurrence of interfluvial landscapes == * In South Burgenland and in the East Styrian Hills of Austria〔(''Sicherung und Entwicklung der charakteristischen Riedellandschaft zwischen Dürrer Aurach und Aubach'' ) at www.land-oberoesterreich.gv.at. Retrieved 1 Jan 2015〕 * the majority of the natural region of the Iller-Lech Plateau in Bavarian Swabia and Upper Swabia (Baden-Württemberg) with the exception of the major river valleys of the Danube, Iller and Lech, the Donauried and the Federseeried as well as the Old Drift landscapes south of the natural region. 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「interfluve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
