“…The Lisan formation, although formally a bedrock, represents a soft end-member. Importantly, while seepage erosion is commonly associated with continuous subsurface flow below the water table (Dunne, 1980;Dunne et al, 1990;Laity and Malin, 1985;Schumm et al, 1995;Lamb et al, 2006;Pelletier and Baker, 2011;Micallef et al, 2020), in Ami'az Plain, the water table is deeper than the base of the tributaries and seepage erosion probably occurs during scarce and large rainfall events. Indeed, several morphologies that are commonly associated with seepage erosion are widely seen in the central region of Ami'az Plain, these include amphitheater valley heads, steep channel banks, and an approximately constant valley width (Laity and Malin, 1985;Schumm et al, 1995;Micallef et al, 2020, and references therein).…”
