Adolescence
Adolescence is a stage following youth and preceding maturity in a developmental sequence such as the cycle of erosion. It is sometimes considered “early maturity”. Adolescence is characterized by incipient development of mature features, together with residual features of youth. It may be applied wherever the terms youth and maturity are appropriate, e.g. in the regional erosion cycle, the karst cycle, or development of a valley.
