N2 - These fans have average slopes of 4°; an extensive network of abandoned, boulder-lined channels; rough, undulatory surfaces near the range front; and smooth distal surfaces. Field relationships and mechanical considerations indicate that the channels of the bajada are products of fluvial incision and not debris-flow scour. The frequency distribution of debris-flow rheologies, set by source-terrain geology and hydrology, is an important control on fan morphology. -from Authors
