Abstract

Morphology and site characteristics are described for ploughing blocks in a sub‐alpine zone of the Canadian Rockies. The ploughing block features (blocks, troughs, levees, etc.) are generally larger than those described for other parts of the world. Good correlations were found between block size and both depression size and mound height. A number of ancillary observations and measurements suggest active block movement in the study area.

Les caractéristiques de ces blocs labourant (taille des blocs, importance des sillons, levées, etc.) sont généralement plus grandes que celles décrites dans d'autres régions du monde. De bonnes corrélations sont trouvées entre la taille des blocs et, à la fois, la dimension des sillons et la hauteur des levées. De nombreuses observations accessoires et des mesures suggèrent que des mouvements de blocs se produisent actuellement dans le secteur étudié. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
