Slope development in light of the concept of interrupted denudation and accumulation

Abstract

The paper deals with the control over slope evolution exerted by gravitative downslope movement of rock debris. A concept of saturated debris How is introduced, the saturated flow accounts for interruption in the slope denudation. Along with intentionally simplified models, the slopes are analysed which represent complex morpholithodynamic systems including elementary surfaces different in angles, but related to each other by the evolution processes.
