d. Phys. Geog. Applied to a stream or valley that has developed its course so as to follow rock that is more easily eroded, and consequently in most cases following the strike of the rock.
[1862Jukes in Q. Jrnl. Geol. Soc. XVIII. 400 That the lateral valleys are the first formed..while the longitudinal valleys are of subsequent origin, gradually produced by atmospheric action on the softer and more easily eroded beds that strike along the chains.] 1895W. M. Davis in Geogr. Jrnl. (R.G.S.) V. 131 The peculiarity of subsequent streams is..that they run along the strike of weak strata; while consequent streams run down the dip, crossing harder and softer strata alike. 1898I. C. Russell River Developm. vii. 185 Streams originate, the directions of which are regulated by the hardness and solubility of the rocks. Such streams appear subsequently to the main topographic features in their environment, and are termed subsequent streams. 1954W. D. Thornbury Princ. Geomorphol. v. 113 Because of the coincidence of subsequent valleys with belts of weak rock it is usually concluded that any valley which follows such a course is a subsequent valley. This may not be true, for the valley may have been on the weak rock from the beginning. 1970R. J. Small Study of Landforms vii. 233 The most significant feature..will be the appearance and growth of ‘subsequent’ streams, which by the process of headward erosion will extend along lines of geological weakness.
