Talk:Truncated upland

Merge?
Given that the articles peneplain, dissected plateau and summit accordance exists should the topic of this article not fall in any of these article? Given that the articles I mention are not long at all I think there is no need of have so many articles of simmilar scope. Note that most peneplains are in fact dissected/truncated uplands since peneplains grading to the present sea-level are scarce, if existent. –Lappspira (talk) 17:33, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
 * They are similar, I agree, but not the same, so I'd leave them separate for now but make sure they are linked and, maybe, text added to explain the differences. Bermicourt (talk) 08:13, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Dissected plateau seem to be a almost a synonym of truncated upland. If I am not wrong all dissected plateaux that are high enough are truncated uplands and only truncated uplands that are cut by valleys are dissected plataux. As such the overlap seem only partial, but in terms of geomorphology they are referring to very closely associated phenomena. –Lappspira (talk) 11:45, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I think may have caused confusion by equating the 3 different translations given in Leser for Rumpfgebirge. The term implies the remnant of a once higher mountain range i.e. a truncated upland or truncated highland. Of course this could be an uplifted peneplain, but that is only one possible origin. Meanwhile a dissected plateau is a high 'plain' that has been deeply incised by rivers or glaciers. It may never have been a highland at all, but could just be an uplifted plain or seabed.
