Kellohajontaa
Kellohajontaa is a geological phenomenon characterized by the sudden collapse or fracturing of rock formations within mountainous or rocky regions. The term originates from Finnish, where "kello" means "bell" and "hajonta" signifies "disruption" or "breakup," reflecting the abrupt and resonant nature of these events. Kellohajontaa typically occurs due to natural factors such as seismic activity, freeze-thaw cycles, or long-term geological stresses that weaken rock stability.
This phenomenon often manifests as large-scale rockslides, rockfalls, or landslides, where substantial quantities of rock detach
In geological studies, Kellohajontaa is important for understanding natural stability limits of mountain ranges and for
While the term is primarily used in Finnish geology, similar processes are observed worldwide under different
