Recent channel alluvium of large mountain rivers and their tributaries in the Western Tien-Shan
Abstract
Problems are discussed of formation of channel-forming sediments on mountain rivers of the Western Tier-Shan. Factors are analyzed which control alluvium composition and distribution in the region over the large rivers and their tributaries. The leading role is shown to belong to slope processes and mudflows, the latter attenuate general decrease in particle diameter downstreams.
