Abstract
Slump Fold Axis Orientations: An Indication of Paleoslope?
Jean Lajoie
ABSTRACT
This paper describes a snow slump and compares fold-axis orientations and axial-plane dips with slope-dip direction. Many "preferred" orientations of fold axes exist within the slump: on the slope the strikes range from nearly parallel to 45 degrees to the direction of slope-dip; at the base of the slope the strikes are perpendicular to the displacement of the snow bed. Folds on the slope are generally rooted with their axial planes normal to the slope surface, whereas at the base of the slope they are not, and their axial planes may be inclined down-slope. A few folds have axial planes inclined up-slope.
