Is this a good image of a pediplain?
editI'm determined to find an image for this article, and after researching a bit I discovered that the western Atacama Desert, particularly the Tarapaca region, is home to one of the largest and oldest pediplains on Earth.[1] And so I found [this image], and I'm wondering if anyone with expertise or familiarity with the region can confirm that this is in fact (part of) a pediplain. And furthermore, is it a good enough representation to include in the page? If so, I can modify the image with some labels to make it clearer. I'll be submitting the image elsewhere for review as well, as soon as I find out where to do that. ;) And btw, I'm also planning on adding some much-needed references to this article. = NV1982 (talk) 02:20, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- Looking a little closer, I don't think the image will do. My sources tell me the large pediplain is in the Tarapaca region in Chile, which is a fair ways north of where the photo was taken, in Antofagasta and Taltal. In fact, if you look at Google Earth you can see a very large area of plains between the coast and mountains, which I have to assume is the pediplain(s). And that region looks nothing like the deserts around Antofagasta and Taltal. I'm confident I can find a photo that will work. I'll come back to this later. = NV1982 (talk) 07:30, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
