Morfología Fluvial.-Características geomorfológicas de los debris flows recientes del volcán basáltico monogénico de Montaña Roja (Tenerife, Canarias, España)

Abstract

ABSTRACT Debris flows are some of the remodelling processes that highly affect cinder cones. The formation of debris flows in Montaña Roja volcano during an episode of heavy rain permitted us to evaluate the features characterising these forms. They present a diverse morphology, from simple linear debris, with only one channel and a lentil-shaped lobe, to complex debris of sinuous layouts, with several channels that bifurcate, and multi-lobular fronts.
