what “paleimsest landform” mean in geomorphology?
The American Heritage Dictionary defines a palimpsest as: A written document, typically on vellum or parchment, that has been written upon several times, often with remnants of earlier, imperfectly erased writing still visible, remnants of this kind being a major source for the recovery of lost literary works of classical antiquity.(1) So a palimpsest landform would be one with a succession of different geological forms on it, sort of like an archeological dig where you get older layers of civilization as you go deeper.
