Relative relief and absolute relief have been analyzed and the enveloping surfaces recorded at two levels of relief in the landscape. All landslide activity lies within these surfaces. The lower enveloping surface (800 m) dips due south by 7-8 degrees,due to an elevation rise of 100 meters within 12 km from south to north,i.e.,a gradient of 8 percent. The nature of the surface is smooth. The upper enveloping surface (> 2500 m) is almost parallel to the lower one but its surface is undulatory due to landslides and denudation. The area has been a seismically active region and has undergone seismic activity up until recently,as evidenced by the Chamoli earthquake of 29th March 1999. The effects of earthquakes are seen at higher levels in the form of landslide imprints on the terrain.展开更多
文摘Two relief surfaces that envelop the rock fall region in a part of Garhwal Himalayas around Chamoli have been identified.

文摘地势起伏度是斜坡地质灾害发育的重要地形因子之一,但目前在敏感性评价研究中较少考虑地势起伏度提取受提取单元尺度大小的影响这一因素。以山西省太原市西山地质块体为研究区,以ASTER GDEM V2和2012年研究区斜坡地质灾害分布信息为数据源,以ArcGIS为平台,以均值变点法对2×2,3×3,4×4,5×5,…,25×25共24个尺度开展了地势起伏度与地质灾害分布峰值、平均地势起伏度和地势起伏度峰值之间的关系分析。结果表明:最佳提取单元在斜坡地质灾害分布峰值、平均地势起伏度和地势起伏度峰值上表现不同,分别为9×9网格、12×12网格、12×12网格,综合考虑区域地貌演变和地质灾害演变因素,选择9×9网格作为研究区斜坡地质灾害敏感性评价时的最佳地势起伏度提取单元,最佳统计面积为0.0729 km2.
