Some morphometric measurements on ploughing blocks in the McGregor Mountains, Canadian Rockies

Morphology and site characteristics are described for ploughing blocks in a sub-alpine zone of the Canadian Rockies. The ploughing block features (blo cks, troughs, levees, etc.) are generally larger than those described for o ther parts of the world. Good correlations were found between block size an d both depression size and mound height. A number of ancillary observations and measurements suggest active block movement in the study area.
