Answer to Question 1

Pediments are erosional features developed on bedrock, formed in association with gradual erosion of
mountains by streams and sheet flooding and subsequent burial of their remnants in the eroded
sediment.



Answer to Question 2

A nearly horizontal resistant layer of rock is breached by weathering and erosion, allowing the
underlying less resistant layers to be rapidly eroded. The flat-topped, steep-sided erosional remnants
are mesas, and further erosion leaves the pillar-like structures called buttes
