This book provides an explanatory account of the landforms and landscapes developed on granitic rocks. Granite is exposed over about 15% of the continents and is thus of an areal significance comparable to the carbonate rocks. But whereas... more

Galicia, in the NW of the Iberian Peninsula, is dominated by igneous rocks, mostly granitoids intruded during the Variscan orogeny. These granitoids can be grouped into four types: postand syn-tectonic tonalite granites, and post- and... more
El nombre de tafone designa en Geomorfología los huecos desarrollados en las superficies basales y laterales de las rocas. Los términos empleados poseen un significado respecto a la definición de sus propiedades, con implicaciones de... more
Cavity Architecture of Ancient India
par Jean-Louis VAN BELLE, en collaboration avec Philippe Sosnowska et Sylvianne Modrie. — L’histoire d’une ville, l’éclat de son passé se dévoilent en particulier sous le regard de ses monuments, de ses édifices. La qualité des matériaux... more
Scientific terms have a descriptive, conceptual and categorical meaning. In the geomorphic research the applied terms can describe the landform features on the Earth's surface; also, they can reflect the different development conditions... more

La interpretación de las formas del relieve integra la diferenciación de componentes en el paisaje, su categorización mediante propiedades genéricas y su conexión con procesos complejos en el espacio-tiempo. Conceptos y categorías... more

Tafoni are small caves frequently developed in granitic rocks. These forms are basal and lateral hollows on the undersides of the rock mass, extended upwards. They show a size range from cm to m with diverse opening plane shape. Their... more

Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio experimental consiste en aplicar los supuestos básicos de un modelo teórico sobre la generación de cacholas (tafoni) en rocas graníticas. En primer lugar, el trabajo plantea el papel del sistema de... more
Many tafoni forms can be differentiated from granite terrains in the north-western region of Argentina (Sierra Grande de Córdoba). All the observations here subject of communication, starting from a recent research that we are developing... more

CONCLUSIONS During many years tafoni have been considered as forms produced by weathering by the sole fact of having been observed on the terrestrial surface. However, the exogenous hypothesis was unable to explain not only their origin... more
En las superficies internas de los tafoni se desarrolla frecuentemente la estructura en panal (Turkington y Phillips, 2004; Twidale y Vidal-Romaní, 2005).
Since the first scientific mention of the form tafone (though not giving this name) in the Guadarrama Sierra (Spain) in 1864, its origin has been considered to be due to exogenous processes. In 1883, the present Corsican term (tafone) is... more
Forms called tafoni, diversified in different stages, are complex natural systems. Their interpretation has created a range of nominal categories defined by morphological features. The debate remained about the definition of the cause and... more
