Physiography

What can we learn from physiography when it comes to environmental land‐

use planning and surface water conservation?

Physiography  ‐ Regions

• Physiographic regions are defined by the composite patterns of the main elements of landscape:

– Landforms

– Drainage features

– Soils

– Climate

– Vegetation

– Land‐use

• Describing physiographic regions is hierarchical, beginning usually with the major (geologic) structural divisions

Physiography  ‐ Regions

– Canadian Shield– Appalachian Mountains– Interior Highlands– Atlantic Coastal Plain– Interior Plains– Rocky Mountain Region– Intermontane Region– Pacific Mountain System– Arctic Coastal Plain– Alaska‐Yukon Plain

• There are 10 general physiographic regions of the U.S.A. and Canada

Physiography  ‐ Provinces• Each region is then broken down into smaller parts, called  provinces

Physiography  ‐ Provinces

• Let’s look at the Appalachian Province:

– Blue Ridge

– Piedmont

– Ridge and Valley

– Appalachian Plateaus

– Northern Appalachians

Physiography  ‐ Sections

• Physiographic provinces are further broke down into sections

• The physiographic sections of the Appalachian Plateaus Province are:

– Northwestern Glaciated Plateau

– High Plateau

– Pittsburgh Low Plateau

– Waynesburg Hills

– Allegheny Mountain

– Allegheny Front

– Deep Valleys

– Glaciated High Plateau

– Glaciated Low Plateau

– Glaciated Pocono Plateau

Physiography  ‐ Sections

• Each physiographic section is differentiated by particular ‘landscape level’ features (although I don’t like using that phrase…)

• Features include:

• Dominant topographic form

• Local relief

• Underlying rock type

• Geologic structure

• Approximate elevation (Min. and Max.)

• Drainage pattern

• Boundaries

• Origin

• Let’s look at the Pittsburgh Low Plateau and the Allegheny Mountain

What is the ‘site’?

• What we call a ‘site’ is the specific piece of earth we are dealing with in the plan

• It can be:

– A parcel of land

– A municipality

– A stream corridor

– A watershed

Always think of the site in three dimensions

The site is a piece of real estate that extends above and below the land surface

Site and PhysiographyThe very first step when assessing site is to determine physiography 

and to think about the characteristics of the section

Pittsburgh Low Plateau Section Allegheny Mountain Section

Noticeable Variations

Pittsburgh low plateau section

• Smooth undulating upland

• cut by numerous, narrow, relatively shallow valleys

• Uplands are developed on rocks containing most of the bituminous coal in PA

• Elevations range from 660 to 1,700 feet

Allegheny mountain section

• Consists of broad, rounded ridges separated by broad valleys

• The ridges decrease in elevation from south to north and the ridges have no topographic expression at the north end of the section

• Elevations in the Section range from 775 to 3,213 feet

Slope

What is slope?Why slope?

Slope in the PA MPCBasic slope forms

What is slope?

• Slope is used to describe the grade, steepness, incline or gradient of a straight line

• The slope of a line is defined as the ratio of the rise divided by the run between two points on the line

• Slope is represented by ‘m’ in equations

Slope units

• Slope is expressed sometimes in percentages and sometimes in degrees– These two are not the same 

• 0% = 0°

• 100% = 45°

• When using a topographic map to determine slope:

Percent slope  = Change in elevationdistance

X  100

• Degrees are usually used by engineers

• Percent is usually used by Planners

Grades in % and angles in °

Slope applications

• Streams, railroads and roads are expressed in terms of the rise or fall of elevation over distance

– For example:  

– ‘What is the slope of this section of stream?’

• a 1% grade would be a one‐foot rise or fall                     of elevation over a distance of 100 feet

Why slope?

• Problems pertaining to slope usually arise due to disturbance

• Three general types of disturbance:

1. Mechanical cut‐and‐fill

2. Deforestation

3. Drainage alteration

Slope disturbances – cut and fill

• Modern (last 100 years)

• Caused primarily by heavy equipment

• Most often a result from: 

– transportation development (roads), and 

– surface mining

• Involves straightening and steeping of slopes

Slope disturbances – deforestation

• The major deforestation in the U.S.A. occurred in the late 1800s

• Lumbering, agriculture and urbanization drove this process

• Denuding hillsides of vegetation– reduces slope stability

– increases surface water runoff

– decreases groundwater recharge

Slope disturbances – drainage alteration

• Modification of water transport networks results in the alteration of water’s:

– direction 

– velocity 

– mass, and 

– force

• This results in– Increased erosion and sediment load

– Undercutting of slopes

– Scouring of streambanks

All of which lead to decreased slope equilibrium and slope stability

(Slope movement is also known as ‘mass wasting’)

Factors that influence slope stability• Gravity

– The main force responsible for mass wasting is gravity

– Perpendicular vs. tangential forces

• Water– Rainfall or snowmelt adds weight to slope

– Able to change angle of repose (the slope angle which is the stable angle for the slope)

• Material (soils)

– Composition and compaction

• Structural (geology)– Dipping bedding planes

– Weak layers

– Joints & Fractures

• Triggering Events

– Natural (seismic, rain, etc.)

– Anthropogenic (land‐use change, mining, construction, etc.)

General rules about slope:

• > 25° (just under 50%) is considered very steep

• 15 – 25° (roughly between below 30% and 50%) is considered steep

• 5 ‐ 15° (~10 and 25%) is considered moderate

• < 5° (10%) is considered gentle

• Structures are not generally built on slopes >25°– New construction technology, however, is allowing for increasing slopes 

now suitable for structures

• Crops are not planted on slopes of more than 18 ‐ 20°

Slope and agriculture practices

A heavily eroded slope by discontinuous gullies

Largely due to poor land‐use practices, including plowing parallel with the slope rather than plowing along slope contours

County Conservation Districts assist farmers in these issues

Angle of Repose

• An engineering term that describes a property of granular materials

• The maximum at which any earth material can be safely inclined and beyond which it will fail

• AofR vary greatly with different materials, AND;– Water content (dry – saturated)

– Vegetative cover (grass – forested)

– Internal structure of particle mass

Angle of Repose ‐

Generally, for dry materials the angle of repose increases

with increasing grain size, but usually lies between about 30 and 37o

Slightly wet unconsolidated materials exhibit a very high angle of repose because surface tension between the water and the grains tends to hold the grains in place

Material saturated with water reduces the angle of repose to a small value and the material tends to flow like

a fluid

The angle of repose is the steepest angle at which a pile of unconsolidated grains remains stable, and is controlled by the frictional contact between the grains

• These are general rules of thumb that a Planner can use for assessment

• If the project is active and specific, consult the expertise of a geotechnical expert or civil engineer

• Protect yourself and your ‘client’:Don’t work outside of your expertise!

Materials

• Loam is soil composed of sand, silt, and clay in relatively even concentration (about 40‐40‐20% concentration respectively), considered ideal for gardening and agricultural uses

• Loess is a homogeneous, typically nonstratified, porous, friable, slightly coherent, often calcareous, fine‐grained, silty, pale yellow or buff, windblown sediment 

– A friable substance is any substance that can be reduced to fibres or finer particles by the action of comparatively little pressure or friction on its mass

– Loess is also highly erodible by water or wind, and soils underlain by loess tend to be excessively drained

Materials

• Clay is a naturally occurring material composed primarily of fine‐grained minerals, which show plasticity through a variable range of water content

• Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles.– sand particles range in diameter from 1⁄16 mm to 2 millimeters. 

– This is the size of a grain of sand

Slope Stability Checklist

• Assess the characteristics of each of the criteria (at minimum) below– Steepness

– Composition

– History

– Vegetation

– Drainage

– Land‐use

• The method (‘how’) you assess these should be in compliance;First – with approval by engineer for local conditions

Second – in accordance with local planning ordinances
