| Comment |
A solifluction terrace may have bare mineral soil on the upslope part and 'folded-under' organic matter in both the seasonally thawed ground and the frozen ground. Those covered with a vegetation mat are called "turf-banked (solifluction) terraces"; those that are stony are called "stone-banked (solifluction) terraces".
