The elevation of the Lower Greensand ridge, south-east England

Abstract

The elevation of the Lower Greensand ridge, south-east EnglandR. J. CHORLEY SUMMARY. The influence of three classes of factors-geological structure, lithologic composition and spatial control over erosion-are examined by trend-surface analysis, followed by stepwise regression, in order to determine their relative importance in explaining the variation observed in the elevation of the Lower Greensand ridge of south-east England. It is concluded that structural controls are dominant, lithological controls very subordinate and the spatial control of very marginal significance.
