초록
본 연구지역은 악지를 이루고 있는 산지와 그 계곡에 발달한 충적평야, 하천을 중심으로 발달하는 하성단구, 하성단구와 산지 사이의 충적선상지로 구성되었다. 화산 폭발에 의한 화산회층이 쌓여서 형성된 치리카와는 응회암이 침식작용을 받아 기암괴석을 노출시켰다. 윌콕스 플라야는 현재보다 기후가 습윤했던 플라이스토세에
This studied area is divided into the mountains and the valleys. The former is nearly consisted of the badland, the latter is consisted of alluvial plains in the valley, fluvial terrace at the side of the river, alluvial fans between mountains and river terrace. There are many tors, mushroom rocks, sugarloaves, weathering pits, castle coppies, columnar rocks, pinnacles, balanced rocks carved on tuff by means of erosion in the Chiricahua Nat'l Monument. Willcox Playa is alkalic crust where was lake in pleistocene epoch at the time wetter than present. Alkalic crust was made of Ca, Na, K etc. There are sand dunes around here where was lake side in the past. We found many kinds of fossils at the 2,000ft thick horizons of valley alluvium. Pediment and alluvium bordered at the base of Mt. Dragoon wavily. Exfoliation and spalling and sheeting resulted in boulders around here. Tucson is alluvial plain filled in thick 7,0000ft valley. Volcano, fault, erosion, alluvium were and are processing in this area.
