Summary
Description Debris flow channel, Ladakh, NW Indian Himalaya.JPG |
English:
Debris flow channel in Ladakh, NW Indian Himalaya, produced in the storms of August 2010. Morphology is characteristic of debris flow deposits. Note coarse bouldery levees on both sides of the channel, mud drape on the insides of these levees, and poorly sorted rocks on floor of channel. The banding on the sides of the channel are evidence of pulsing in the flow during its waning stage. "Drip" structure on left side of the channel demonstrates the non-newtonian rheology of the debris flow material, which has failed and flowed down the rock below after deposition of the levee.
