Summary
Le talweg est une ligne formée par les points les plus bas d’une vallée ou d’un lit de cours d’eau. Ce terme d’origine allemande signifie littéralement “chemin de vallée” et désigne principalement des zones sculptées par l’érosion fluviale, souvent occupées par un réseau hydrographique. Contrairement à la ligne de crête, l’espace entre deux talwegs est appelé interfluve. En météorologie, le terme est utilisé pour désigner un creux barométrique. Dans le langage courant, le talweg se réfère généralement à des terrains non rocheux. Il est aussi utilisé de manière figurative pour décrire la paresse intellectuelle ou des solutions faciles. Le mot apparaît également dans des expressions militaires et dans des œuvres littéraires.
