MARC recordAre soil tongues in northeastern Indiana periglacial relics or active fingering zones? / Kenneth M. Hinkel.
| Title: | Are soil tongues in northeastern Indiana periglacial relics or active fingering zones? / Kenneth M. Hinkel. |
| Author(s): | Hinkel, Kenneth M. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Quaternary Research. (1993.), Vol. 39(1) (1993) |
| Abstract: | Numerous soil tongues (or fingers) are exposed at this site, along walls of active gravel pit. Site is considered unusual both for these well-developed tongues and for apparent regularity of spacing. Tongues define sharp illuviation front which has overall appearance of high-amplitude high-frequency sinusoidal wave train. Apparent regularity of wavelength and amplitude implies some causative process which operates at same scale: discusses two such mechanisms, periglacial activity and wetting front instability. |
| Notes: | Quaternary Research. Vol. 39(1) :75-83 (1993). |
