At the same time erosion resulted in stripping of the outer mantle rocks and further modeling of terrain.
We noted that erosion resulted from accelerated tree cutting and overgrazing.
Further erosion of the harder rock has resulted in a rounded basin that extends just to the side of the actual river's course.
