Gerölllagen
Gerölllagen, also known as talus slopes or scree slopes, are geological features characterized by the accumulation of loose rock fragments at the base of steep slopes or cliffs. These slopes are formed through the process of rockfall, where rocks and boulders detach from higher elevations due to weathering, freeze-thaw cycles, or other erosive forces. The resulting debris accumulates at the foot of the slope, creating a layer of unconsolidated rock material.
The size of the rock fragments in a Gerölllage can vary significantly, ranging from small pebbles to
Gerölllagen are common in mountainous regions and are often found in areas with steep terrain and active
The study of Gerölllagen is an important aspect of geomorphology, as it provides insights into the processes
