Abstract

Hole, J. 1981. Groper danna av snøskred i Sunnylven og tilgrensande områder på Sunnmøre. Førebels resultat. Snow avalanche impact pits in Sunnylven and adjacent areas in Sunnmøre, Western Norway. Preliminary results. Norsk geogr. Tidsskr. Vol. 35, 167–172. Oslo. ISSN 0029-1951.

I Sunnylven på Sunnmøre er det observert kraterliknande groper i overgangen mellom bratte dalsider og dalbotnen på stader der det går nesten årvisse snøras. Desse gropene finn ein utforma i lausmasser, og det står vatn i dei. Gjennom dei fleste gropene renn det ei elv. Gropene har ein diameter frå 30 til 100 m. Jordmassene frå desse gropene er kasta opp på distalsida.

At the bottom of steep hillsides commonly exposed to avalanches, crater-like depressions have been observed in Sunnylven, Western Norway. These pits are formed into the ground and are filled with water. Commonly, stream runns through the pits. The pits are 30–100 m in diameter. The material from the pits is thrown up on the distal side.
