Aeolian processes and effects

Relief features of interest to the geomorphologist are numerous in the Québec City district. Among the more striking are the fault-line scarps at Montmorency Falls and on the island of Orléans and the various Champlain sea terraces among which Goldthwait's « 110-foot » and « Micmac » terraces are particularly well developed. A possible pre-Pleistocene section of the Montmorency river channel bas been suggested but still remains to be definitely established.
