Water became the dominant erosive agent with climate warming. It eroded the
slopes of the high volcanic and granite massif hollowing out more and more
ground. Slowly by crumbling, streaming and sliding the sides became steeper,
depending on the nature of the rocks. Rivers formed in the glacial beds creating
deep gorges.
