Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intersection of two river systems in Arkansas, the Red River and Clinton Monoclines, and their profound impact on the area's drainage patterns. The author traces the course of the Red River Monocline southwest from White River, describing its effects on the topography of the Boston Mountains and creating a synclinal fold. This fold then turns northwest and forms a broad, low anticline with the Clinton Monocline to the north. Significantly, these monoclines have influenced the drainage systems of the area for millions of years. The Red River and its tributaries maintain a northeast-southwest direction due to these monoclinal folds, and the East Fork of Cadron Creek has a course parallel to the Red River Monocline. Streams have cut out deep, parallel valleys along the line of disturbance, often cutting through tilted strata. This book unveils the complex relationship between geology and hydrology, revealing how the forces that shaped the earth's surface continue to influence its present-day landscape.
