Generally:
Largest boulders remain (unless removed by debris flow), so steps occur where boulders span the entire channel. Finer-textured sediment completely removed. Channel consists of bedrock chute with occasional large boulders (pools are absent). Banks are not eroded because they consist primarily of non-alluvial materials. |
