- W4206221941 abstract "Scree slopes are common features of the landscape in mountainous regions. A scree slope is made up of countless numbers of loose rocks, lying against the side of a mountain. These slopes are strikingly regular, with an even gradient from top to bottom, as if they had been laid out to a civil engineer’s design. In fact, this regularity is the result of a simple property of loose rocks. For a given type of rock, there is a critical angle of slope; if an individual rock is placed on a slope steeper than this, it will tend to roll down, while if it is placed on a slope less steep than this, it will not move. Because of erosion, pieces of rock are constantly breaking loose from mountain sides; they roll downwards until they reach a place where the slope of the surface is less steep than the critical angle, and then they stop. If any area of the slope is temporarily steeper than the critical angle, it is unstable, and rocks tend to roll away from it; if any area is less steep than the critical angle, it tends to accumulate rocks which roll down from above and then stop. There is thus a constant tendency for the gradient of the scree slope to adjust itself towards the critical angle." @default.
