Relationships
The position of thrust sheets around
the margins of landslide toe blocks, and their
morphology and direction of thrusting, suggests that
they were formed as a result of toe block pressing and
movement in the surrounding sand. Toe-thrust sheets
therefore can be considered as the morphological
expression of ongoing instability at the landslide
toe. The upthrust nature of these sheets at West
Runton suggests that rotation of toe blocks,
generating forward movement of the surrounding loose
beach sand, is the principal process of toe-thrust
sheet formation (fig. 6). Passive pressing of toe
blocks into the surrounding sand under gravity is
unlikely to result in either brittle failure of the
sand or differential movement of the sand away from
the toe blocks (i.e., different thrust sheet widths).
The presence of thrust sheets therefore suggests that
landslide blocks are actively excavating into the
softer and unconsolidated beach sand that is displaced
outward as a result......
