| 11. | Solifluction should not be confused with earthflow, which is a much more rapid process.
|
| 12. | Other factors in solifluction are : sparse vegetation, snow melt and high amounts of precipitation.
|
| 13. | Some of the steeper slopes of the Level Mountain Range are confined to nivation and solifluction.
|
| 14. | Solifluction occurs when the night temperatures freeze the soil before it thaws again in the morning.
|
| 15. | There, solifluction and cryoplanation surfaces are developed, including lobe-shaped ground and block ramparts.
|
| 16. | Landscapes that have been a product of solifluction have been described as having the consistency of thick porridge.
|
| 17. | The Devil's Dyke V-shaped dry valley is the result of solifluction and river erosion.
|
| 18. | Small examples are probably very widespread where solifluction deposits contain large concentrations of frost-resistant rock blocks.
|
| 19. | Where the gradient exceeds 20 degrees solifluction appears to have been a more dominant process preventing their formation.
|
| 20. | Solifluction deposits, which were created by melting of the underlying permafrost, veneer the surface of the uplands.
