colluvium

After time, colluvium fills the hollow, and the sequence starts again.

Colluvium Recent weathered material or hill wash transported by gravity.

Freshly fractured colluvium particles often have a very angular shape.

This ecosystem exists on deep colluvium along stream banks.

This ecosystem exist on deep colluvium or soils underlain by granite rock.

Bordering the lake there are thick deposits of reddish, charcoal-rich colluvium.

To the northwest, the west and the south of the peak, the valleys contain large deposits of colluvium.

Sixty-four profiles of colluvium were logged and sampled.

Deposition - continuous, repeated deposition of new parent materials by water, wind, colluvium, mudflows, other means.

These are, in essence, lithified colluvium.

The slip involved some 5 million cubic metres of sand and colluvium up to 40 metres in thickness.

Overlying these are various types of Quaternary unconsolidated deposits such as alluvium, colluvium, and dunes.

Colluvium filled bedrock hollows are the cause of many shallow earth landslides in steep mountainous terrain.

Colluviation refers to the build up of colluvium at the base a of a hillslope.

The sides of Mount Conner are also covered by scree (talus) and its top is covered with colluvium.

This includes terrace deposits near floodplain, colluvium on valley slopes, and local wind-blown sand and silt.

The sedimentary rocks of the valley walls date to the Paleozoic Era and are often covered with colluvium or loess.

Collections of large rock fragments that have traveled downslope by gravity are called colluvial debris or colluvium.

The Pooraka Formation formed in the north west due to increased erosion resulting in colluvium depositing.

The colluvium forms fans, cones and scree slopes, and often contains clay and breccia.

Colluvium can be composed of often a heterogeneous range of sediments ranging from silt to rock fragments of various sizes.

The valley sideslopes are made up of varying layers of colluvium and/or till moraines overlying bedrock.

The Jory series consists of very deep, well-drained soils that formed in colluvium derived from basic igneous rock.

Quaternary deposits consist of red bed sediments, laterites, pediment fans, colluvium, alluvium and coastal sands.

The colluvium underlies the gravel tongues and probably dates back to the Eocene, but was later reworked during the Pleistocene (ice ages).
