The extensive zone of slides on the eastern erosion scarp of Pampa de Salamanca, Chubut

On the eastern erosion scarp of Pampa de Salamanca (extraandean Chubut) adyacent to Atlantic Coast, an extensive area of slides is identyfied. The description was done exclusively with the study of photograms and satellital images and lacking of field control. The area is located between 45°00'...

description On the eastern erosion scarp of Pampa de Salamanca (extraandean Chubut) adyacent to Atlantic Coast, an extensive area of slides is identyfied. The description was done exclusively with the study of photograms and satellital images and lacking of field control. The area is located between 45°00'S and 45°45'S, and is aproximately 70-75 km in lenght from north to south. Two types of slide movements were clearly distinguished: the ancient and the modern. The first are bigger and show degradation evidences. The second are smaller and are later local movements on sections of the ancients, such as earth flows and slumps. A provisional classification of ancients is: 1) great slumps with scarse initial morphological characteristics in the proximal side and an extensive flow distal phase; 2) multiple retrogressive slumps; and 3) coalescent slumps with small terminal earthflows.
