Some morphometric measurements on ploughing blocks in the McGregor Mountains, Canadian Rockies
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 bloc...
