Flatiron (geomorphology)

Traditionally in geomorphology, a flatiron is a steeply sloping triangular landform created by the differential erosion of a steeply dipping, erosion-resistant layer of rock overlying softer strata. Flatirons have wide bases that form the base of a steep, triangular facet that narrows upward into a point at its summit. The dissection of a hogback by regularly spaced streams often resulted in the formation of a series of flatirons along the strike of the rock layer that formed the hogback. As noted in some, but not all definitions, a number of flatirons are perched upon the slope of a larger mountain with the rock layer forming the flatiron inclined in the same direction as, but often at a steeper angle than the associated mountain slope. The name flatiron refers their resemblance to an upended, household flatiron.

The Flatirons near Boulder, Colorado, is both an example of these landforms and the source of their name. Other well-developed flatirons are found in the eastern Uinta Mountains in northwestern Colorado, the Waterpocket Fold in Capitol Reef National Park, the Superstition Mountains near Phoenix, Arizona and on the flanks of the Marathon Uplift in west Texas.

3-D landscape of a valley at Aneyoshi, Miyako City in Japan after the 2011 tsunami

3-D landscape of a valley at Aneyoshi, Miyako City in Japan after the 2011 tsunami
Detailed landforms of a coastal valley at Aneyoshi, NE Japan, was measured by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in 2011 and 2012. The gigantic tsunami invaded into this valley to record more than 40 m of its run-up height. Airphotos and topographic data used for the wide-area 3D landscape model at the beginning and ending of this movie are provided by Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. The point cloud obtained by TLS contains more than 10 millions of measured points of the landscape in the valley, showing some unique topographic features formed by tsunami erosion.
