CHARACTERISTIC SECTIONS IN THE SLOPE DEPO SITS OF NORTHERN AQUITAINE FACIES AND DYNAMIC INTERPRETATION

Sections characteristic of the slope deposits of northern Aquitaine ar e reported and discussed. In the western area, in Charente, grezes lit ees are the result of solifluction processes. To the east, in Perigord , facies are more diversified and are related to varied dynamic proces ses: solifluction lobes, plug-like flow, rockfalls, grain flows, debri s flows and mud flows. These differences can be explained by the more diversified parent rock and the more contrasted topography in Perigord .
