A plateau in the central part of Ehime Prefecture, spreading west of the Ishizuchi Mountains. It is a gentle slope spreading south of the mountain ranges of Mt. Ishizumi, Jingamori, and Saragamine, and is 400 to 600 meters above sea level. The geology is a base of Sanbagawa metamorphic rocks, covered with tertiary layers of the Ishizuchi Group (igneous rocks) and Kuma Group (sedimentary rocks). This surface has been denuded by tributaries of the upper Niyodo River basin, forming a group of small basins in a so-called pear-shelf style: Ninami, Tsuyumine, Kuma, Hatanogawa, Naose, and Kasakata. Elderly mountains are arranged around the basins, and the rivers on the plateau are actively eroding and filling the lateral sides, so they are close to equilibrium. The alluvial plain at the bottom of the basin and the surrounding diluvial plateau are extensive and are used for paddy fields and farmland. The hilly mountainous areas are thriving for highly productive forestry, tea, and highland vegetable production.

愛媛県中央部、石鎚(いしづち)山地の西に広がる高原。石墨(いしずみ)山、陣ヶ森、皿ヶ嶺(さらがみね)の山系の南に広がる緩斜面で、標高400~600メートル。地質は三波川(さんばがわ)変成岩類の基盤に石鎚層群(火成岩)や久万層群(堆積(たいせき)岩)の第三紀層の被覆をのせている。この面を仁淀(によど)川上流域の支流河川が削剥(さくはく)し、いわゆる梨棚(なしたな)式に二名(にみょう)、露峰(つゆみね)、久万、畑野川、直瀬(なおせ)、笠方(かさがた)の小盆地群を形成している。盆地周辺には老年期性山地が配列し、高原上の河川は側方侵食や埋積作用が盛んで、平衡状態に近い。盆地底の沖積地、周辺の洪積台地が広く、水田や畑地に利用されている。丘陵性山地では生産性の高い林業、茶、高冷地野菜などの生産が盛んである。 [深石一夫] [参照項目] | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
