Figure 4. Spatial coupling between valley lines and less developed rivers. (a) Rivers with lower headwaters; (b) the area of the valley floor where rivers protrude but do not develop; (c) valley line headwaters are served as river headwaters; (d) the valley lines in the convex region of the valley floor ‘replace’ the rivers.
