GELIFLUCTION IN THE ALPINE PERIGLACIAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE TIANSHAN MOUNTAINS, CHINA

Gelifluction in the periglacial zone of the Tianshan Mountains occurs at 2500-3600 m above sea level on north-facing slopes. Abundant groundwater, fine grained sediments and slopes 10 degrees-30 degrees favour gelifluction. Most gelifluction forms are lobate, a few are tongue-shaped. The mean surfac...
