responsible for
fragmentation because rocks expand when heated and break up as they cool.
Water freezing in the cracks can also cause fragmentation. However, the most
important sources of erosion are rain and rivers. Heavy rainfall transformed
the smooth surface of the plateau into a complex pattern of gullies that
followed preexisting fissures in the rocks. Eroded materials were then removed
by the rivers. Sometimes streams and rivers made very
sharp vertical cuts into
the volcanic soil and created isolated pinnacles at the intersection of two or
more gullies. Rain and rivers also formed valleys such as Zelve
and Goreme.
