A Major Landslide Involving an Inverted Paleochannel in Sierra County, New Mexico

A landslide that probably dates to the end of the Pleistocene has been found in Sierra County. The feature consists of three sub-parallel segments, covering an area about 8 km wide and 10 km long. The head of the slide deposits consists of a northeast-trending paleochannel forming an inverted topography. The paleochannel deposits contain many boulders with sizes up to 1.5 meter diameter, indicating flow rate as high as 100 m3/s. The paleochannel ridge is mostly underlain by the hidden lateral contact of the Cretaceous Crevasse Canyon Formation and by the Tertiary Love Ranch and is sharply defined by Yoast Draw valley that cuts a water gap through the 25 m high inverted ridge. The landslide body consists of Love Ranch Formation overlain by a substantial cover of Quaternary fanglomerate. A series of northwest-trending faults have influenced the landslide. The broad western upslope segment of the slide has been washed away, leaving only trace evidence of a landslide. A low slide plane angle of less than 1% slope suggests a seismic trigger.

“向我看齐”古今谈

一个地区和单位的廉政建设如何? “头头”带头最关紧要。“其身正,不令而行;其身不正,虽令不行”,“桃李无言,下自成蹊”,“喊破嗓子不如做出样子”,“三令五申不如身体力行”,这些古今谚语都是被实践反复证明了的真理。但是,象报纸所载湖南省岳阳县县委书记黄甲喜那样,“在端正党风,不以权谋私和为人民办实事这几点上”,敢于公开向全县干部大声疾呼:“向我看齐!”却十分不易,为古往今来所少有。
