Figure 4: Slope of Modi Khola litholigies


View Original Image at Full Size

Figure 4. These maps show mean, minimum, maximum, range, standard deviation slope for each lithology of the Modi Khola valley. Visual inspection of changes in these maps reveal differences in slope statistics between different lithologies and across the range. Each lithologic unit was used as the zone (or region) to calculate slope statistics within. Refer to the geologic map of the Modi Khola in Martin et al. (2010) to identify lithologic units. MD - Macchapucchare Detachment, DD — Deorali Detachment, FRM II - FRM I — Formation II - Formation I lithologic contact, BF— Bhanuwa Fault, MCT — Main Central thrust, RF — Romi Fault, TF — Tobro Fault, GT — Ghandruk thrust, RT — Ramgarh thrust. Geographic coordinate system: WGS 1984 UTM Zone 44N. Projection: Transverse Mercator.
