| Comment |
Sorted stripes, both large and small, occur on slopes of more than 3?, downslope from sorted polygons or sorted nets; they are derived by downslope extension of sorted polygons or sorted nets. They can be several hundred metres long. The stones of the coarse stripes can range from pebbles to boulders, depending on the size of the stripes. The intervening finer material can be stone- free or contain stones and be a diamicton.
