Two-dimensional morphometry of fault scarps is attempted and the results are compared with the solutions derived from the mathematical model of slope development. For this purpose, average height of the slope in the sections parallel to the fault is calculated from the elevations read at the points settled with a constant interval in each section. Though the average height obtained by this method is regarded to be a function of the distances measured from the fault, its fluctuation can be compared with that of the theoretical values derived from the model. In addition, it may be concluded that standard deviation of the elevations in each section can be an estimate of the velocity of height decrease of the slope there. It is also considered to be possible to investigate the recent movement of the fault from data by the morphometry.
