ellenanyagoasztások

ellenanyagoasztások refers to a phenomenon observed in certain geological contexts, particularly within the context of landslides or other mass wasting events. It describes a situation where materials that were initially on top of a slope, such as soil, vegetation, or debris, are found to be exposed or uncovered at the lower elevations or runout zones after the event has occurred. This implies that these upper materials have somehow moved downwards, overriding or displacing the materials that were already at the bottom of the slope.

The term suggests a process where the upper layer appears to "eat" or engulf the lower layer, rather than a simple flow or slide where materials move independently. This can happen in complex landslide scenarios, such as debris avalanches or rapid flows, where the rheology of the moving mass allows for significant internal deformation and mixing. The exposed lower material at the runout zone is an indicator of this unusual displacement pattern. Understanding ellenanyagoasztások is important for reconstructing the mechanics of past mass movement events and for assessing the potential hazards associated with future similar events. It highlights the dynamic and often counter-intuitive nature of geological mass transport.
