What is the significance, in terms of geological time, of the word "temporary" in temporary base level? What will be an ideal response?
Features associated with temporary base levels are geologically impermanent or "temporary." Lakes,
for example, may last for a considerable length of time from a human perspective, but will eventually
disappear over the course of geological time. Even mountain ranges are temporary features when
viewed this way. Other causes for temporary base levels are even shorter lived. A landslide that blocks
a river, for example, will soon be removed by erosion. Hydroelectric dams also form temporary base
levels of very short duration (geologically).
