The shapes of some mountain peaks in the Canadian Rockies

Auteurs :
CRUDEN, D.M.
HU, X.-Q.

Description :
Different mountain shapes in sedimentary sequences in the Canadian Rockies were enhanced by glacial erosion and have been modified postglacially by gravity-driven slope processes. Slope modification by both glacial erosion and postglaciation landslides is related to rock structure, particularly bedding dip, rock mass strength and slope geometry.
