Hill's elastic muscle model. F: Force; CE: Contractile Element; SE: Series Element; PE: Parallel Element. The three-element Hill muscle model is a representation of the muscle mechanical response. The model is constituted by a contractile element (CE) and two non-linear spring elements, one in series (SE) and another in parallel (PE).
This model imply sediment fluxes can be estimated from the slope angles (∇z). This has been shown to be true for low-angle slopes. For more steep slopes it is not possible to infer sediment fluxes. To address this reality the following model for high angle slopes can be applied: [7] Equation (2) q̃ = −K∇z / 1 − (|∇z|/S c) 2
A catena can form on various underlying or parent materials and in different climates. [10] On impermeable acid rocks such as metamorphic schists in a high rainfall climate like that of western Scotland , the catena consists of thick acidic peat forming wet bog on the flatter facets, and thinner, drier, somewhat less acidic peaty podsols on the ...
Drumlin – an elongated whale-shaped hill formed by glacial action. Butte – an isolated hill with steep sides and a small flat top, formed by weathering. Kuppe – a rounded hill or low mountain, typical of Central Europe. Tor – a rock formation found on a hilltop; also used to refer to the hill, especially in South West England and the ...

Fold mountains form in areas of thrust tectonics, such as where two tectonic plates move towards each other at convergent plate boundary.When plates and the continents riding on them collide or undergo subduction (that is – ride one over another), the accumulated layers of rock may crumple and fold like a tablecloth that is pushed across a table, particularly if there is a mechanically weak ...
