Parallel retreat of slope is a method of erosion by which the steep wash slope and free face of Pediments ( Gently inclined rocky floors close to mountains at their foot with or without a thin cover of debris ) retreat backwards.

So,through Parallel retreat of slopes, the pediments extend backwards at the expense of moutain front, and gradually ,the mountain gets reduced leaving only a remnant of the mountain (Inselberg).

This type of erosion reduce high relief in desert areas to low featureless plains.
