transport processes and pathways

Anatomy of a Hillslope
Dominated by vertical soil formation processes
Shows the 9 components of hillslopes and the dominant
transport processes and pathways
Anatomy of a Hillslope
Dominated by mechanical and chemical eluviation by lateral and
vertical transport processes by subsurface flow.
Shows the 9 components of hillslopes and the dominant
transport processes and pathways
Anatomy of a Hillslope
Dominated by soil creep processes
Shows the 9 components of hillslopes and the dominant
transport processes and pathways
Anatomy of a Hillslope
Dominated by mechanical and chemical weathering processes
and vertical transport by fall or slide processes
Shows the 9 components of hillslopes and the dominant
transport processes and pathways
Anatomy of a Hillslope
Dominated by mass wasting transport processes (flows, slides,
slumps, creep) by surface and subsurface water flows.
Shows the 9 components of hillslopes and the dominant
transport processes and pathways
Anatomy of a Hillslope
Dominated by deposition of mass wasting materials forming colluvial
deposits. Soil deepens and colluvial fans form. Some
intermittent downslope transport may continue by creep
Shows the 9 components of hillslopes and the dominant
transport processes and pathways
Anatomy of a Hillslope
Alluvial deposition processes dominate. Chemical weathering
dominates soil formation processes.
Shows the 9 components of hillslopes and the dominant
transport processes and pathways
Transition from colluvial to alluvial processes
Anatomy of a Hillslope
River bank processes dominate. Mass failures occur and are
transported by the river.

Transition from colluvial to alluvial processes
Anatomy of a Hillslope
Fluvial processes dominate.
