FIG. 12. Geomorphologic map, showing the distribution of Tertiary landforms
in the study area. The precordillera and llanuras constaneras are
dominated by, respectively, the Altos de Camilaca (dark gray) and Pampa Lagunas
(light gray) pediplains and their correlatives (numbers in brackets refer to
stages in Fig. 9). In contrast, the areally restricted landforms of the Multiple
Pediment stage (Fig. 2), comprising the Cerro de las Chulpas, Pampa Sitana, and
Cerro Sagollo pediments and their correlatives, are concentrated along
throughgoing rivers. The relationships between the landforms of the Multiple
Pediment stage and remnants of the Altos de Camilaca and Pampa Lagunas
pediplains in the Moquegua-Pampa Guanero transect are shown in greater detail in
an inset at the top right of the figure, whereas those in the area around the
Cachuyo and Cachuyito prospects, north-northeast of Cocachacra, are shown in an
inset at the top center.
