Each category, within a classification, is listed in order of dominance and is separated from (f)fan Ff Cf Gf Mf Tv//Rc O O Tv/O/Rc R/Rc O Rc/Tv/R the other categories by a slash (e.g., Tv/R). Generally, the areas are divided so that three landforms or deposit types are Tv/Rc Tv Ov O O Tv/Rc Rc/Tv Rr identified within a given area. The classification system is also used to denote the approximate percentage of landforms hummock (h) Eh Gh Th O/Or R // T Tb/Te Tl/Tb/O Ov Tve//Rc Te/Tb/O occurring within an outlined area, but those which compose less than 5 percent of the area are not included in the classification.
