The diffusion equation derived from the continuity equation for hillslopes is applied to scarp erosion in unconsolidated materials. Solutions to this equation allow direct calculation of the product of the rate coefficient and the age of the scarp from measurements of scarp morphology. Where the rate coefficient can be estimated or can be derived from scarps of known age, this method allows direct calculation of unknown ages of scarps.
从山坡连续方程推导出的扩散方程被应用于非固结物质的悬崖侵蚀。该方程的解允许从悬崖形态的测量中直接计算出速率系数和悬崖年龄的乘积。如果可以估计速率系数，或者可以从已知年龄的悬崖推导出来，那么这种方法就可以直接计算出未知年龄的悬崖。
