Pediplain in Northern Chile and the Andean Uplift

Carlos Galli-Olivier 1

1 Department of Geology, Universidad de Concepción, Concepción, Chile

A pediplain in the Chilean Atacama Desert formed during Oligocene and Miocene time when the aridity of the region started and was later displaced by north-trending faults associated with the Andean uplift. Block basins and some horsts were later concealed by Upper Tertiary and Quaternary orogenic sediments and ignimbrites.
