Davisian cycle of erosion

The Davisian cycle of erosion is a model explaining how landscapes change over time through wear and tear. It suggests that regions originally form as uplifted land (like a plateau). Over time, streams and rivers cut into the land, creating valleys and hills, progressively shaping the terrain. As erosion continues, it can lead the land to evolve from uplifted plateaus to flatter plains, and eventually to a low-lying peneplain. This cycle illustrates the natural pace of landscape evolution, driven by forces like weathering, water flow, and tectonic activity, showing how landforms gradually transform over geological periods.
