Abstract
Kinematic model of slope development includes terms concerning slope recession, slope flattening and tectonic movements. Different types of tectonic movements and base level reaction were used. The modelling shows that the preservation of characteristic features of slope profile (memory of relief) depends on the ratio between the different slope processes intensity: the more the contribution of arid-type processes (sheet erosion, deflation) and the less the contribution of humid-type ones (ground's viscous flow) - the longer existence of characteristic details of the slope profile. Intermittent tectonic uprise leads to formation of the horizontal steps sequence (piedmont benchland) of different modes depending of base level conditions and tectonic movements character.
