Talk:Inverted topography

Inverted topography versus deformation of strata

I don't think that the famous Arizona Meteor Crater is an example of inverted topography. Inverted topography refers to a change in the elevation of a feature, e.g. a channel becomes a ridge. In the case of the crater and the other features listed in the September 18, 2008, edit by Americasroof, it is the rock strata that have been repositioned. I hope to contribute a new edit soon that will distinguish between inversion (which is a process something like molding and casting, in which the feature maintains its position, but changes its elevation relative to the surrounding surface) and the deformation of strata due to impact or tectonic forces. -- Cuppysfriend (talk) 23:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Rather a late response... but I've changed that Meteor Crater bit to "inverted stratigraphy". Vsmith (talk) 10:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Merge

Seems this article should be merged with inverted relief as inverted topography and inverted relief are the same concept. I'd say this title is more informative and should be the merge target. Vsmith (talk) 10:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

I agree with completely. Both articles about the same subject. Paul H. (talk) 13:14, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Agree. Check out Help:Merge for the procedure. -- Cuppysfriend (talk) 23:39, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
