- Abstract
This study shows the main characteristics of the scree deposits around La Becerrera, at the western slope of the Ubiñas Massif (Cantabrian Mountains). A detailed cartography of scree deposits and related source areas has been generated, using cartographic analysis techniques and field work. The statistical analysis of morphometric variables shows a relationship between the size of both source areas and screes, being the length and surface extent of the source area two very important factors conditioning the evolution of scree deposits. The characteristics of the source area and the underlying terrain topography affect resultant talus scree morphologies. The scree adopts complex morphologies of talus cones and slopes. The aspect of the source area and the scree may differ due to the presence of avalanche channels at the source. The talus slopes of the scree are homogeneous and correspond to the scree angle support.
