Pattern of debris dispersal areas due to mass movement on slopes

Abstract

The distribution of vein debris in the slope mantle has been analysed within the limits of ore-bearing sites of the Yudomo-Mayskoye Upland, it revealed a certain pattern in debris dispersal at slopes of prevailing defluction (creep) and solifluction processes. The type of loose matter movement is shown toinfluence ore-bearing debris distribution. The regularities observed may be used as a criterion in searches for minerals.
