SUBCLASSES FOR GEOMORPHOLOGICAL PROCESSES

Subclasses for mass movement processes MAP SUBCLASS NAME DEFINITIONS SYMBOL Initiation zone “ Polygon includes sites or zones of instability, such as the headscarpes of debris slides or earthflows and source areas for rockfall and debris flows; use with –F and –R to distinguish initiation zones from runout zones.

Slow Mass Movement: use the following symbols with -F soil creep c slow movement of soil. rock creep g slow movement of angular debris under periglacial conditions (e.g. rock glaciers). open fissures, commonly near crest of slope. tension cracks k lateral spread lateral extension of a fractured mass of bedrock or -in bedrock p surficial material; movement is predominantly horizontal. -in surficial material j
