Cryoplanation surfaces in the central Andes at latitude 35° S / Santiago A. Grosso, Arturo E. Corte.
Title: | Cryoplanation surfaces in the central Andes at latitude 35° S / Santiago A. Grosso, Arturo E. Corte. |
Author(s): | Grosso, Santiago A. Corte, Arturo E. |
Date: | 1991. |
In: | Permafrost and Periglacial Processes. (1991.), Vol. 2(1) (1991) |
Abstract: | General survey. Most terraces occur in areas with mean annual air temperatures <-1°C. Largest on sedimentary rocks where m.a.a.t. are near 0°C; possibly inactive now and were formed during colder episode. Thought to be result of frost shattering, frost heave and gelifluction of frost-susceptible (porous) rocks in climate with numerous freeze-thaw cycles. |
Notes: | Permafrost and Periglacial Processes. Vol. 2(1) :49-58 (1991). |
Keywords: | 551.34 -- Geocryology. Frozen ground. 551.342 -- Frost shattering. 551.343 -- Periglacial processes. Thermokarst. E8 -- Glaciology: frost action and permafrost. (82) -- Argentina. (83) -- Chile. (238.1) -- Andes. |
