- catalog abstract "The morphology of the surficial features of 60 playas within the interior of Iran is studied in order to determine their characteristics, distribution, and development. Surficial types delineated within the playa areas consist of clay flats, salt crusts, wet zones, intermittent and perennial lakes, fan deltas, and swamps. These units alone or in combination constitute the playa type. The type of playa that forms in an area is determined by the composition of its sediments and the position of the water table. Because the source of the sediments remains essentially stable, the playa is modified through time mainly as a result of changes in the hydrology of its basin. The hydrology is controlled by the form of the basin, the permeability of its bedrock, and its climate. Because the form and bedrock permeability of most of the Iranian basins have remained essentially stable since the late Pleistocene (Wurm), subsequent hydrologic changes may be attributed to climatic changes. -- p. i".
