The LE ratio (exponential logarithmic) is a useful geomorphological tool to adjust longitudinal fluvial profiles using an equation. The obtained results allow assessing and quantifying anomalies as well as ruptures (knickpoints) with different origins. In this study, 33 little basins from a sector of the northern coast of the Alboran Sea (Málaga-Granada, Spain) were analyzed by applying the LE ratio and other tested indexes (Hack, Shulitsand Green). In all cases, we obtained by means of a LE ratio a linear correlation coefficient about R2 ≥0.95 (p<0.01) between the real profile and the evaluated model. Regarding this, several knickpoints were consequences of geological causes: faults, overthrusts, and dips, and differences in lithologic contacts. Moreover, high correlations were found between a decrease of profile inclinations and regional flattening surfaces. Finally, we observed different heights of stepped levels as a consequence of the acceleration of the fluvial stream profile through the steeps.
