application/pdf 紀要論文 1) The author introduced the twelve postglacial big landslides observed by him with five sets of stereographs, twelve photographs, twelve maps and one table. 2) The table consists of seven elements of landslide. Their mean values are as follows: Width (W): 1.99km Height (H): 0.35km Thickness (T): 0.67km Volume (V): 0.437km^3 Flowed distance (L+T): 3.35km Estimated inclination of the cliff before landslide (θ): 29.9°Inclination of the slided residual cliff at present (θ'): 39.5°The unexpected small value of θ will suggest some problems. 3) He infers that the gentle slope, and flat tongue or sand-spitlike morphology in some fjord of Iceland had been formed by these big landslides because of their co-existence, which will be illustrated by Plate IV-10, 11, 11m, 12, 12m and Fig.3. departmental bulletin paper
