Snow-avalanche impact landforms: a brief discussion of terminology

It is suggested that features produced by the erosional impact of snow avalanches on water bodies be termed snow-avalanche impact landforms and deposits. The specific examples described by Matthews and McCarroll (1994) and Smith et al. (1994) are seen as distinctive end members of the range of depos...

Zusammenfassung:It is suggested that features produced by the erosional impact of snow avalanches on water bodies be termed snow-avalanche impact landforms and deposits. The specific examples described by Matthews and McCarroll (1994) and Smith et al. (1994) are seen as distinctive end members of the range of depositional landforms produced by these processes.
