MARC recordA giant ploughing block, Finse, southern Norway / John R. Reid, Atle Nesje.
| Title: | A giant ploughing block, Finse, southern Norway / John R. Reid, Atle Nesje. |
| Author(s): | Reid, John R. Nesje, Atle. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| In: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. (1988.), Vol. 70A(1-2) (1988) |
| Abstract: | Feature of mass movement resulting from frost creep and/or gelifluction. Significance of blocks is that they occur in many areas and are considered to be most widespread of currently-developing periglacial phenomena, but little detailed attention has been paid to them. This block is largest and has longest trough (42.5 m) of any known. Average minimum rate of movement over 18° slope has been about 0.5 cm a⁻¹. |
| Notes: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. Vol. 70A(1-2) :27-33 (1988). |
| Keywords: | 551.332.57 -- Erratic blocks and boulder trains. E7 -- Glaciology: glacial geology and ice ages. (*58) -- Norway. |
