Peneplain

In geomorphology and geology, a peneplain is a low-relief plain formed by protracted erosion. This is the definition in the broadest of terms, albeit with frequency the usage of peneplain is meant to imply the representation of a near-final (or penultimate) stage of fluvial erosion during times of extended tectonic stability.^[1] Peneplains are sometimes associated with the cycle of erosion theory of William Morris Davis,^[1]^[A] but Davis and other workers have also used the term in a purely descriptive manner without any theory or particular genesis attached.^[3]
